The 30-year-old left Juventus after seven years in a shocking move to their league rival AC Milan for €42million.

The football was eager to know actually what was the reason behind this sudden exodus and during the event, the Italy international opened up about all the situation.

Bonucci stated a series of conflicts with coach Allegri and being dropped for their Champions League tie against Porto made him believe of his unimportance to the manager which was the final straw in the coffin.

"People thought that was the most striking thing, but in truth it was just the final straw," Bonucci said when he was asked about his decision to leave Juventus.

He continued:"There had been other situations before that."

"In the last part of the season the link faded on both sides and we decided to move apart. Something crumbled in recent months, and this change was the consequence of that. To give 100 percent, I need to feel important, something that at Juventus was recently happening only in fits and starts.

"I couldn't go with that. Even the most beautiful marriages sometimes end. I gave Juve so much and they gave me so much. It wasn't an easy choice for me, because seven years are difficult to close off and forget.

"The rapport had come to an end though, neither party wanted to continue together. I have to say, though, that given how it ended we came out well: myself, Juve and Milan."

Bonucci helped Juventus to win Six league titles and three Coppa Italia's in the last seven years but lost in the Champions League final twice against Barcelona and Real Madrid.

He made his Milan debut against Bayern Munich on Saturday (22th July) in the Pre season friendly in China, where his team won 4-0.
