Leonardo Bonucci’s move to AC Milan could sensationally fall through after £35m payment is rejected by bank
LEONARDO BONUCCI could find himself back at Juventus after the bank reportedly REJECTED AC Milan’s £35million payment.
The Rossoneri have been splashing the cash this summer as Vincenzo Montella attempts to rebuild the fallen giants into title contenders.

Part of that summer overhaul included the £69m double swoop for Juve’s Bonucci and Lazio midfielder Lucas Biglia.
The duos contracts have yet to be formally registered with the San Siro giants.
That is preventing either man from representing Milan.
And it could mean that former Chelsea and Manchester City target Bonucci finds himself back at Juventus.
Serie A sides have until August 11 to register new players for the upcoming campaign.
