JAKARTA - Leonardo Bonucci was once considered the best defender in Europe. He was also linked with a move to Manchester City before joining AC Milan on loan.
"I have a dream to be coached by Pep," Bonucci told MARCA, Thursday, September 30.
"The closest we got was in 2016. I was on the verge of joining City. We got to the last detail and then Juventus decided not to sell me. We decided to stay together."
And as it turns out, that wasn't the only opportunity Bonucci had worked with Guardiola.
"Then when I went to AC Milan. I could have gone to City, but some things had to be done for that to happen. I also made a promise to AC Milan," Leonardo continued.
"Last year, I spoke to Pep again. He wanted me but I told him 'Juventus is my home and I'm happy here and I feel at home here'.
"I want to make up for my 'defeat' when I was loaned to AC Milan for one season. Becoming a symbol of Juventus again is the most exciting thing I can do in my career at the moment."
