It's very reductive to give a player value just based on their cost.
I remember people claiming Ibra was shit because we 'only' paid €24m...
Because he'd be much better if he'd have cost €40m, much better for the club too to spend more money.
Players are usually overvalued but rarely undervalued.
40m seemed like a steal for Bonucci because we had assumed he was undervalued and that he's worth a lot more (rightly so, based on his performances with Juve and Azzurri). Now that the season is done, he really didn't add much to our defense except a decent partnership with Romagnoli from Jan-Mar of 2018 and that's it. We ended up paying for the name and for having a credible captain than actual solid defensive performances.
