Tensions rise between Juventus and Leonardo Bonucci

Tensions are now mounting in the situation involving Juventus and club veteran Leonardo Bonucci.

The Italian is already out of the Bianconeriโ€™s project and he is training separately, away from the clubโ€™s first-team. He did not travel with the squad to the United States.

La Gazzetta dello Sport state that the tensions between the club and Bonucci are high. The playerโ€™s lawyers sent a warning to the Old Ladyโ€™s higher management. Juve responded immediately, stating that Bonucci is still being provided high quality training facilities and their choice to exclude him from the plans is โ€˜technicalโ€™.

Bonucci has already been linked with moves away from the Old Lady but nothing has materialised so far, leaving him in a rather frustrating situation at a club where he signed a new contract only some months ago. He had suffered injury troubles last season but was still the club captain, which he wonโ€™t be next season.
