Former Juventus midfielder Massimo Mauro is sorry with the way Leonardo Bonucci is being pushed out the club.

Stripped of the captaincy in preseason, the veteran defender has been told he won't play for the club again.

Mauro said: "It ends in the way worse, everyone's fault, Bonucci is no longer the winning Juve and Juve is no longer what it was a few years ago.

"While the defender was expecting gratitude, the club made other choices, but by now we must also get used to this kind of epilogue.

"As it has happened with (Romelu) Lukaku who, six months after declaring that he did not want to go to Juventus, was making false cards in order to wear black and white."
