Giacomo "Jack" Bonaventura[1] (born 22 August 1989) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Serie A club Milan and the Italy national team. Bonaventura started his senior career at Atalanta in the Serie A in 2007, his impressive performances earning him a €7 million transfer to Milan in 2014. Bonaventura has been a youth national team member since 2008. He made his senior international debut in 31 May 2013, in a friendly match against San Marino.

Club career

Atalanta

Bonaventura made his debut with Atalanta on 4 May 2008, in a match against Livorno. He only played this match in the whole 2007–08 season. He appeared again on 9 November, against Fiorentina.

On 13 January 2009, Atalanta announced he had joined Pergocrema on loan for the remainder of the 2008–09 season.[2] Five days later, he made his debut for Pergocrema, getting on the scoresheet in a match against Sambenedettese. He made three more appearances before returning to Atalanta.

He returned to La Dea, but had to wait until January 2010 to appear again, this time against Palermo. On 1 February, he joined Serie B club Padova on loan until the end of the season.[3] He made his debut for the club on the 20th, against Triestina.

In June 2010, Padova decided not to buy him outright,[4] and Bonaventura returned to Atalanta, signing a contract extension until 2015.[5]

On 9 November, he scored his first Atalanta goal, against Modena. He played a key part for La Dea in 2010–11 season, scoring nine times, with his club being crowned champions. On 11 April 2012, he scored his first Serie A goal, against Napoli.

Milan

2014-2015 Season

On 1 September, the last day of the Italian transfer window, Milan announced the signature of Bonaventura from Atalanta for a fee reported to be around €7 million.[6] On September 14, Bonaventura scored a goal on his debut as Milan beat Parma 5-4.[7] Bonaventura scored his second goal for Milan on October 29 against Cagliari and was voted man of the match. On December 12, Bonaventura scored a powerful header and assisted Jérémy Ménez's goal as Milan defeated Napoli 2-0; Bonaventura was also voted man of the mach against Napoli and again in the next week against Roma.[8] On 30 May, he scored twice against his former team Atalanta in a 3-1 victory.

2015-2016 Season

On 19 September, Bonaventura assisted Carlos Bacca's first goal and scored directly from a free-kick in a 3-2 win over Palermo. He also gained another assist and goal in Milan's next game, the 2-3 win over Udinese. Once again, he assisted both Carlos Bacca's and Philippe Mexès' goals against Lazio in the 3-1 away win on 1 November. He continues to perform under the coach Siniša Mihajlović and has become a fundamental player for his team this season. After missing a 0-0 draw against his old team Atalanta due to suspension, he scored the opener in a 4-1 defeat of Sampdoria on 28 November. He scored again in his next game on 1 December, a 3-1 Coppa Italia defeat of Crotone, via a brilliant 20-yard free kick.

After featuring with under-19, under-20 levels, Bonaventura made his debut with the senior squad on 31 May 2013, in a 4–0 victory against San Marino.[9]

Style of play

A quick, hard-working offensive midfielder with good vision, passing, and technique, Bonaventura is a versatile player who is capable of playing in several midfield positions, and making attacking runs. He is talented in keeping possession effectively and is also capable of scoring goals due to his powerful striking ability from distance.[10][11][12]
