Leonardo Bonucci has renewed his contract with Juventus until June 2024. The Serie A giants broke the news on their official Twitter handle on November 19, 2019. Bonucci joined the Old Lady in 2010 and spent seven glorious years at the Allianz Arena before switching sides in 2017. According to reports, Bonucci was sharing a cold relation with Juventus' then-manager Massimiliano Allegri which forced his move to AC Milan for €42 million. However, the legendary defender was back at Juventus after spending a year at Milan and won Serie A 2018-19 on his return.
