Rome: Italy international defender Leonardo Bonucci is on the verge of a shock transfer to AC Milan from Italian champions Juventus after he arrived in Milan on Friday.
Bonucci has won six successive Serie A titles with Juve but is close to finalising a move to Milan that Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport says is worth 40 million euros (Dh167.6 million).
The 30-year-old, capped 70 times by Italy, will reportedly sign a five-year deal with Milan and earn 10 million euros a season, which would make him the highest paid player in Serie A. The centre-back was shown arriving at Milan’s headquarters in a video on the club’s Twitter feed.
