Bonucci
AC Milan's star signing Bonucci has not had a good start to the season, first under Montella and now with Genaro Gattuso. Rumors indicated that teams like Barcelona and Manchester City showed interest in signing him in January, but it seems not to be true.
The 'Rossonero' team defined those assumptions as "really unacceptable deductions" through a note published on its website, emphasizing that the player "fully believes in the project" of the club he joined this summer.
"This shows that stories before Christmas are absolutely based on nothing. The Milan captain is working hard, like all his teammates, to lift Milan from a very negative position in the table," the club published.
Milan's note was released after several Italian sports media outlets claimed on Thursday that Bonucci is "tempted" by the idea of playing in the next Champions League for clubs like Barcelona or Manchester City under Spanish coach Pep Guardiola.
Among them, the newspaper "Corriere dello Sport" today published a note stating that Barcelona "is ready" to replace a possible departure of Argentine Javier Mascherano with Bonucci himself.
The Italian, who left Juventus in July to join Milan for 40 million euros (about 47.4 million dollars), has been one of the most criticized players in Milan's poor season, currently eighth in the table.
