Perin gives up his Juventus No.19 shirt for returning Bonucci

Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin will give up the number 19 shirt for the returning Leonardo Bonucci - “we’ve already agreed”.

The Italian international took the number 19 when he joined the Bianconeri from Genoa this summer, picking it because his daughter was born on February 19.

However, Bonucci has now returned to Turin after a year with Milan, and the defender always wears that number.

“We’ve already agreed,” Perin told SportMediaset as the Juve players returned from their pre-season tour of the U.S.A.

“I promised I’d give to to him if he came back to Juve.”

Last summer Franck Kessié had chosen 19 at Milan, but he also gave it up for Bonucci.
