Remember Allegris words from 27.06.2017?
Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri, has insisted that Leonardo Bonucci will not leave the club.
The £50million-rated defender is one of Chelsea boss Antonio Conte’s key targets, as he looks to strengthen his defence ahead of next season.
Bonucci fell out with Allegri in February and was dropped for a Champions League game away to Porto. The two men have apparently settled their rift and the manager is backing the 30-year-old to take over as captain, when Gianluigi Buffon retires next year.
“At that particular moment, [dropping Bonucci] was the right thing to do. There are times when you should turn a blind eye and times when you have to have your eyes wide open and in that moment Leo was wrong.
“I was wrong too, and in fact I punished myself and Leo was left out. It was an important and decisive game and even if we’d lost we’d have had the strength to win 10 more.
“We played a good game against Porto and then, after two days, Bonucci came back, because he’s an important player, an extraordinary player.
“Above all, he has to understand that he’ll be the future leader of the Juventus dressing room,” Allegri said.

Same - it will help our revenue massively in the long run. Serie A revenue growth has been 6-8% lower per year than competing leagues to sports rights and sponsorship. A bit of catching up would not hurt.
We have key advantages over England:
1) Weather and Beauty
2) Better domestic talent
3) Better football minds
4) More cultural ties with South America, particularly Argentina, as well as a similar language and lifestyle.
England has 2 things:
1) If you play in London, you're in a global city, which is attractive for young people.
2) MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY
With a bit more money, we close the gap.
Culturally/Weather wise Spain and Italy are at a huge advantage vs. England and Germany. Germany is at the biggest disadvantage with their language, but their domestic talent is so strong right now that it keeps the league strong, while a strong economy and strong attendance keeps the money aspect attractive too.
