Leonardo Bonucci plays down exit talk

Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has insisted that he has no plans to leave Turin at the end of the season.

The Italian international has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea, who will be under the management of former Juve boss Antonio Conte next season.

Bonucci, however, has said that he 'sees no reason' why he would leave 'his home'.

"I feel good in Turin, my family is happy here," Bonucci told Quotidiano Sportivo. "I'm proud to be part of Juve history and I don't see reasons for which I should leave. We are organised in this way with my agent. We value all proposals at the end of the season but, I repeat, I feel good at Juve. It's my home."

Bonucci, 28, joined Juve from Bari in 2010 and is fast closing on 200 appearances for the Italian champions.
