A whirlwind 36 hours in Italy saw Juventus lose one of their very best defenders and AC Milan add another player to their portofilio in what is becoming an increasingly impressive transfer window. AC Milan's summer of activity sees them add Leonardo Bonucci and weaken a rival whose shadow they have been living in for a decade. The tough-as-teek defender joins Milan until 2022 for €40 million.

As Juve fans look for an explanation, they may find clues during the Champions League final against Real Madrid when a very strong discussion took place between Andrea Barzagli and the now-departed defender at half-time. It forced manager Max Allegri to get involved in an effort to create peace in the dressing room.

The fight that reportedly took place during the break ended when Paulo Dybala intervened and received a slap from Bonucci as he made an effort to break up the pair of defenders.
