People casually tend to forget that he's our only CB who has been available for selection for almost every game in the past 6 years. He's missed only 8 games (according to transfermarkt, seems about right) in the past 6 years. Rugani missed 11 last season. I don't even need to talk about the other CBs whose injury histories are pages long. But no, he's no big loss 
If the management and he's having issues that can't be resolved, it's best for both to part ways. Especially with someone as emotionally involved as Bonucci. Just don't make it seem like he's a nobody to this team.

but we are well covered injuries permitting. Next year Rugani-Caldara will be the starting pair. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
There is something we don't know about here. This is such a left field transfer. I was 50% sure he would stay....but if you asked anyone he would go to Milan, the probability would be less than 1%.
I can't help but think he doesn't get along with Allegri or something. Doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would go to Milan for a "new challenge" when he can keep winning here.
The thing that annoys me the most is the transfer fee. Part of me doesn't mind him going to Milan because I still don't view them as being serious contenders to win the title - rather than going to a Real Madrid where we would be strengthening a real competitor for a trophy we really want.
He is still only 30 which is not old for a central defender - look at Barzagli. He will play at a very high level for another 5 years at least. And we look like we would get sub 40m for him when his real price should be well north of 50m. I could see Chelsea paying 60.

I don't like the trend this club is taking on.
Constant unstable teams, key starting players leaving the club (Alves, bonucci, Vidal not to mention Conte's circus) and I know some smart ass will lecture me on each of these cases and why they left but there is definitely a certain trend here, if you don't see it then your simply delusional.
Been following this club since 1994 and I don't remember we ever had such unstableness (bar calciopoli period). And I know that since we're winning titles every season people don't care much but we hardly had any serious competition domestically but now things are changing.
What I really hate about this management is that they don't care if they sold The best defender in serie A to a rival club and if The figures are true (30-40 mil range) yet we had a much bigger offer last summer from a foreign club then they're completely gone mad.

Lets not forget who coaches the under 21 team and has no idea what he is doing

The switch to a 4 man defence also allows us to handle Bonucci's exit. We no longer need to start 3 centerbacks so why do we need to have 5 great CB? If we are only playing 2 man CB pairing we can get by with Chiellini, Barzagli, Benatia and Rugani. I think there is a reason we signed Benatia on such a high salary. He is going to be a leader.
We just need to make a good RB signing and a good CM signing. I thinka good CM will do a lot more for our defence than bonucci would. For example if we have Chiellini and Benatia/Rugani protected by Matic or N'Zonzi I think it will be a better defence than Chiellini-Bonucci protected by Khedira

Like Alves wanted to reunite with Pep and ended up in PSG; Tevez was homesick and didn't want to play abroad and ended up in China 
In the end, what you can't buy with money, you can buy with a lot of money and EPL clubs have a lot of it. If we weren't a charity we would have got at least 60, maybe 70m.
