The 2021 European champion with the Nazionale was still under contract until the summer of 2024 with Juventus Turin, where he spent twelve seasons and won the championship eight times. The Berlin club did not specify the duration of the contract, but the German media kicker evokes a one-season contract in Berlin.

“It’s something special for me to go abroad for the first time in my career. At the Union, I have the opportunity to continue to play at the highest level, and to help the team in three demanding competitions, with my experience”, reacted Bonucci.

Union Berlin finished fourth in the German league last season, securing a spot in the Champions League group stage.

The draw made on Thursday reserved Real Madrid, Napoli and Braga as the Berliners’ opponents for their first appearance in the premier competition of European football.
