Leonardo Bonucci has revealed that he turned down offers from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City to remain close to his son in Italy. Throughout his illustrious career, Bonucci made the decision to prioritize his family's needs over lucrative opportunities abroad.
His tenure at Juventus was nothing short of remarkable. He played a total of 502 games for the club, scoring 36 goals. His defensive prowess and leadership on the field were instrumental in Juventus' dominance in Serie A during his time with the team.
In a recent interview, Bonucci explained his reasoning for staying at Juventus, stating, "I didn’t go to City in 2016 because Juventus would never sell me, and I was happy at Juventus at that moment. In 2017, Vincenzo Montella and Massimiliano Mirabelli called me and said I was going to be the captain of Milan. I didn’t want to go abroad and had already given Milan the green light when PSG and Manchester City called. I wanted to be close to home because of my son, and I didn’t feel like going abroad because there is always a question mark when you make a change."
After leaving Juventus, Bonucci had a brief stint at Union Berlin before moving to Fenerbahçe.
