Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci says he intends to retire at the end of next season.

The veteran is confident he can carry on another 12 months.

He told Juve's website: "Since the first day I wore this shirt, I've tried to be myself first and foremost, everything I've done has been in defense of a second skin.

"I've applied literally what it means to wear this shirt, taking the value from who was older and then trying to be an example and a driving force. Sometimes things succeed, others not, but for me it was like living in a dream for 12 years, there is always that happy child inside me.

"Now we are waiting for the 501. The goal is to continue wearing this shirt until June 2024. Now we're playing for something that can make this difficult season extraordinary."
