AC Milan signing Leonardo Bonucci denies he's betrayed Juventus.
Bonucci accepts he'll be jeered by Juve fans when they meet.
“Life is made up of cycles which open and close," Bonucci said.
“When you're part of a group for seven years, you hope to leave something beautiful. In the last part of the season the link faded on both sides and we decided to move apart.
“Something crumbled in recent months, and this change was the consequence of that. To give 100 per cent, I need to feel important, something that at Juventus was recently happening only in fits and starts.
“I couldn't go with that. Even the most beautiful marriages sometimes end.
“I gave Juve so much and they gave me so much. It wasn't an easy choice for me, because seven years are difficult to close off and forget.
“The rapport had come to an end though, neither party wanted to continue together. I have to say though, that given how it ended we came out well: myself, Juve and Milan.
“Porto? People thought that was the most striking thing, but in truth it was just the final straw: there had been other situations before that.
“Given what I gave to Juve, I don't feel like a traitor or a mercenary. If they whistle me, they ought to know that, just like the insults I received at Juventus Stadium fired me up, it'll be the same if they jeer me."
