I like Bonucci a lot but given he is a centerback who is 30 and we have Rugani ready to take his spot and possibly make us even better in the coming years it does not make any sense to not take the money. If we sign James with the money for example I dont think anyone could say it would not make us way better.
We have Chiellini, Barzagli, Rugani, Caldara, Benatia. Might as well cash in on Bonucci.
