Bonaventura: 'An unforgettable experience'

Comments
Giacomo Bonaventura leaves Milan after six seasons with the Rossoneri and thanked the club for ‘an unforgettable experience’.

The 30-year-old midfielder arrived from Atalanta in September 2014 and has contributed 35 goals and 30 assists in his 184 games for the Diavolo.

His contract expired after the 2019-20 season and Bonaventura will now move to find a starting position elsewhere.


“Thank you, I lived a dream,” he wrote on Instagram. “The years spent at Milan were an unforgettable experience.

“I want to thank all the people with whom I have shared this fantastic adventure. Presidents, managers, coaches, teammates, doctors and physios.

“Thanks to all those who work behind the scenes at Milanello, they are the real engine of Milan, thanks to them we feel at home every day, as a family.

“Thanks to all the Milan fans, who have always supported us, in the best moments and the hardest ones. The roar of San Siro is something special, which I will never forget.

“You will always be in my heart!”

Bonaventura appeared 29 times in Serie A 2019-20 but only started 13 and scored three goals in the process.

Although Hansi Flick started with Ivan Perišić against Marseille, Coman then was subbed on and brought more pace into the game. Therefore, Flick is now planning with Coman against Chelsea [Bild]

Goretzka and Thiago are set as double pivot. The Spaniard (who wants to leave the club) is now more important than ever after Kimmich's return to right-back. The duo worked very well against Marseille [Bild]

With Niklas Süle's return, Hansi Flick now has another option at centre-back. Boateng remains ahead in the pecking order at the moment [Bild]
