Thank you and I agree.
Man City €45m rejected for Bonucci
By Football Italia staff
Pep Guardiola said Leonardo Bonucci was one of the best defenders in the world and Juventus reportedly reject a €45m Manchester City offer.
The centre-back proved his mettle once more during Euro 2016, converting a penalty in Italy’s 1-1 draw with Germany and starting moves from the back with Andrea Pirlo-style passes.
According to Sky Sport Italia and Tuttosport, Manchester City offered €45m (approximately £38m) for the 29-year-old defender and wages worth €7m per year.
However, Guardiola was told in no uncertain terms to forget about Bonucci.
He is considered a key figure in the Juventus squad and is under contract until June 2020.
Guardiola already praised Bonucci in a Press conference earlier this year, calling him one of the best defenders in the world.
Naturally, Chelsea were also linked with him for a potential reunion with ex-Italy Coach Antonio Conte.

I can't believe the evolution of Leo. When we signed him from Bari he was so shaky and few considered it a good deal even. Now, he's by far the best defender in Italy and only Barzagli comes close. In terms of abilities to play in a modern role playing through passes and all, he's probably up there as the worlds best. It's incredible really - I remember so many complaining we didn't sign Ranocchia instead

So, kudos to 
and our scouts. Btw, Bonucci can still be shaky at times. I wouldn't call him the best defender in Italy though. Imo, that is Barzagli. Never thought I'd say there is a better Italian defender than Chiellini. - - - Updated - - -

what if we getting benatia to sell bonucci 
If you take out Bonucci´s long passes , he is a normal dude.
He got nothing on the tackling, athletism or anticipation abilitites Nesta , Cannavaro and Maldini had. But yes he is better than those 3 at playing regista for sure.
What is incredible about Bonucci is how much he shaked that error prone nature he had. He was really really bad in his first years as a juventus player...he was terrible.

Our defense is great as a unit. Chiellini is our greatest warrior, Barzagli has the usual precision of the great Italian CBs and Bonucci is overall very good at defending and the brave leader of our link up play with the midfield and attack. Separated and put in a weaker team, they'll probably not shine.
