Higuain, who scored 40 times in 73 appearances for Juventus, helped the Serie A holders clinch the Italian league title and Coppa Italia twice each.
Bonucci, on the other hand, figured for Milan 35 times before making a return to Juventus where he made over 200 appearances from 2010 to 2017. He will also re-unite with Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini to once again form a formidable back-line for the Torino based club.
Juventus have earlier been involved in major moves in the 2018 summer transfer window which saw, veteran Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon leave the club and multiple-time Ballon d'Or holder Cristiano Ronaldo join them, as a major boost.
