Italy centre half Leonardo Bonucci has no regrets about turning down Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.

The Italian could have signed for the Premier League giants back in 2016 for a mega fee.

However, he decided to remain in his homeland and playing in Serie A, rather than take a chance on a Premier League switch.

Union Berlin defender Bonucci revealed to The Sun: In 2016, Man City and I were close. They offered almost 100 million to Juventus but together with the club we decided to continue.

There were talks in 2017, too, after Juventus put me up for sale... in the end things had to go that way.

Being managed by Guardiola would have been a great achievement because he would have improved me but I can't complain because I won many trophies, individual awards and the Euros.

I always let my heart dictate me, that's why I stayed at Juventus."
