Ac milan the winners in higuain bonucci swap with juventus
A great piece of transfer history!
On July 10, 2019, AC Milan and Juventus announced a swap deal that sent Gonzalo Higuaín from Juventus to AC Milan and Leonardo Bonucci from AC Milan to Juventus. The deal was a significant one, as both players were key figures for their respective clubs.
Here are the details of the swap:
- Gonzalo Higuaín (Juventus) to AC Milan: 18 million euros (plus 18 million euros in bonuses)
- Leonardo Bonucci (AC Milan) to Juventus: 40 million euros (plus 10 million euros in bonuses)
The swap was seen as a major coup for AC Milan, as they acquired a proven goal-scorer in Higuaín, who had previously played for Napoli and Real Madrid. Higuaín went on to score 15 goals in 35 appearances for AC Milan in the 2019-2020 season.
Meanwhile, Bonucci returned to Juventus, where he had previously played from 2016 to 2018. He played a key role in Juventus's defense, helping the team win the Serie A title in the 2019-2020 season.
The swap deal was seen as a win-win for both clubs, as they both acquired players who could strengthen their squads. However, it's worth noting that the deal was also seen as a sign of Juventus's willingness to offload Higuaín, who had struggled to replicate his form from his time at Napoli.
