Leonardo Bonucci is set to continue his career at Fenerbahçe. The Turkish Süper Lig leaders announced on their official website that the defender is expected in Istanbul on Wednesday for his medical examination.
Fenerbahçe is set to welcome the 36-year-old Leonardo Bonucci, who recently concluded his brief stint with Union Berlin, marking his first foray into football outside of Italy. Unfortunately, his sojourn at Union did not meet the expectations.
Bonucci's appearances were limited to just ten matches, with seven of those appearances occurring in the league. Regrettably, the team only managed to secure a single victory during his time at the club. Ironically, this solitary triumph materialized in his farewell game on December 20th, a match against 1. FC Köln that ended 2-0 in favor of Union Berlin.
It had become increasingly evident that Bonucci and Union Berlin were not destined for a long-lasting partnership, prompting speculations about his next destination. Initially, there were strong indications that the Juventus icon might return to Italy and join AS Roma. However, this prospective move fell through, leading Roma to reinforce their defense with the Dutch Juventus loanee, Dean Huijsen.
Now, Bonucci has found a fresh opportunity with Fenerbahçe. The seasoned defender is set to join forces with players like Jayden Oosterwolde, Ferdi Kadioglu, Sebastian Szymanski, and Dusan Tadic in Istanbul. He aspires to make a meaningful contribution to Fenerbahçe's pursuit of the Turkish league title. Currently, the club is engaged in a closely contested battle with Galatasaray for the championship, and Bonucci's experience and skills are expected to bolster Fenerbahçe's ambitions on the field.
