Ex-Juventus chief Moggi says Allegri at centre of Bonucci AC Milan move

Former Juventus chief Luciano Moggi believes a row with Max Allegri sparked Leonardo Bonucci's move to AC Milan.

Milan have signed Bonucci for €42m.

"It's a great buy for Milan, as he is the best defender in Italy at this moment," Moggi told TMW.

“Evidently something happened between him and the Coach. Even then, I never would've given him to Milan, because they are a direct opponent.

“I'd have told him: 'I will sell you abroad, otherwise you can stay here and not be a pain in the…'

“I don't believe in club symbols, as they are all professionals. In any case, Bonucci is a big reinforcement for Milan."
