Leonardo Bonucci is rejoining Juventus from AC Milan and will trade places with Gonzalo Higuain and Mattia Caldara, Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed.
The Bianconeri boss revealed Italy defender Bonucci, who flew into Turin to complete a medical on Thursday, is bound to link up with the club he left in a shock €42million switch just over a year ago.
Paris Saint-Germain were rumoured to be interested in the 31-year-old, but the former Juve skipper has engineered a swift return to the club where he spent seven successful seasons.
His arrival at Allianz Stadium comes as Higuain finalises an expected loan move to Milan with a view to signing permanently at the end of the season.
“Leonardo is back after one year. He is an important player,” Allegri told Sky Sport Italy.
“In six months he has not changed at all.
“As for Higuain, I thank him for these two seasons during which he gave his best. Milan have signed a great striker, for sure.”
Higuain scored 40 Serie A goals for Juve after joining from Napoli in 2016.
