Guardiola's phone call to Juventus; the details
However, Juventus went with Sarri and Guardiola was reportedly insistent on staying at Manchester City anyway.
Now, reports from the Corriere dello Sport today have suggested that Guardiola called Juventus today; congratulating the club on the appointment of Maurizio Sarri but, more specifically, discussing the future of Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci.
With the imminent arrival of Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax in Turin, many questions have been raised over the future of Bonucci - who some consider to have come to an end of his time at the club. PSG are reportedly interested in the centre-back but, now, so are Manchester City and, if Juventus want to let him go, Guardiola could be their first port of call.
