Union Berlin central defender Leonardo Bonucci is expected to sue his old club Juventus after leaving the Old Lady last month in acrimonious circumstances.
The 36-year-old was excluded from the Juve squad in the summer by Max Allegri and was not provided with a squad number despite spending five years in Turin during his second spell at the club.
