Leonardo Bonucci believes that he has come home after re-signing for Juventus a year on from his shock departure to AC Milan.
The Italy centre-back sealed his return to Turin on Thursday in a straight swap deal that saw Mattia Caldara move to San Siro as his replacement.
Gonzalo Higuain also joined Milan from Juve on an initial season-long loan deal, with an option to buy. The Argentina striker's transfer means Bonucci's U-turn has arguably not grabbed the headlines it might otherwise have done.

Some supporters were seemingly not keen to forgive and forget the 31-year-old's defection to the Rossoneri as they whistled and booed him upon his arrival at Juventus' headquarters. Nevertheless, his affections for a club where he won six consecutive Scudetti in his first spell remains strong.
Juve kicks off its bid for an eighth straight Serie A crown against Chievo on August 18, while Higuain, Caldara and its new Milan teammates host Genoa a day later.
