Only Sport Mediaset, right? They've been cold on him leaving, while GDS have been more positive. We'll see, though if there was any chance of him coming before, it's looking less likely now.

Just not sure what him signing a contract extention last year, has to do with today ? No offfence meant!

His signing a contract extension last year makes it less likely he would be offered another this year, effectively doubling his wages, just because Pep came knocking.

This is made even more unusual because he was part of a group of players who were all extended last year as the "core" of the club, all of whom will now expect similar upgrades.
 
Not sure why we are getting played by most of our targets? Feels like 2009 again which is fucking bizzare coming of last summer when all of our targets wanted to sign for us
 
I personally think this won't happen, don't think Juve will sell and have absolutely no need to. Bonucci could play at a high level for them until he's 35.

"all" our targets? None of our targets have actually played us. Laporte wanted to come until Bilbao made him the highest paid player in franchise history. Bonucci was always a long shot.

That's hardly all our targets. We've got the money, the success and the best manager in the world as a carrot and if players don't want that, it's their loss. Nothing like 2009 at all.

He just signed a contract renewal last year. Are we expected to believe that Juventus are willing to suddenly double his wages guaranteed until he's 34 all because Guardiola came knocking?

Seems unlikely, particularly as it encourages the rest of their stars to demand more too.

You are completely right. Can't see him signing a new contact.

Bonucci is a fan favorite and all but he's been at the club for 6 years and won enough titles. This is great opportunity for him in the footballing as well as the financial sense. He will be playing for the best coach in the world, grow even more as a player and also earn double his current wages.

I'm hoping he decides to come to us. Bonucci is world class and will be worth whatever we pay for him and could play for us for 4 years. If he comes, we will have the best defense in the league and the Etihad could become a fortress once again.
