Italian legend Leonardo Bonucci has only spent one season with AC Milan but the centerback seeks a return to Juventus.

The 31-year-old is ready for a move back to Juventus after moving to Milan in 2017-18, ESPN reports. After seven trophy-laden seasons with the Old Lady, Bonucci moved to Milan and made 51 appearances in all competitions a year ago.

Milan General Manager Leonardo admitted that Bonucci is ready to make an exit despite a new season right around the corner.

“We’re bound to FFP, so it won’t be a crazy market. It’ll be moderate and wise. The desire [to talk to Juve] started with Leonardo Bonucci, so if we can, we’ll make it happen. We have no objection to it,” Leonardo said.

“It all started from an idea, a very sensible and quiet one. It’s from here that all the talk started,” he stated. “It’s very normal for a player to have a wish. A player doesn’t just ask to leave, there’s also the project and objectives to consider.”

Milan continues their preseason preparations on July 31st against Tottenham Hotspur.
