Former AC Milan Goalkeeper Reveals Reason for Leonardo Bonucci's Return to Juventus

Former AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati has weighed in on the departure of Leonardo Bonucci back to Juventus.

The Italian defender made his way back to Juventus earlier this summer after just one season at San Siro, but the Rossoneri have got a new defender in Mattia Caldara, while Gonzalo Higuain has also joined the club.

Abbiati has hinted that broken promises are probably to blame for Bonucci leaving, and also admitted surprise over the club's capture of Higuain.

“Higuain? I am surprised Juventus did this operation, he is the goalscorer AC Milan were looking for," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
