Giacomo Bonaventura left AC Milan at the end of the 2019-20 season after spending six years at the club. He joined Fiorentina on a free transfer and has done well since, with his motivation being a key factor.
The 34-year-old has started the season really well with four goals and two assists in eight league appearances. Most recently, he scored the goal that put Fiorentina 2-1 ahead against Napoli, a clash they won 3-1.
As a result, Luciano Spalletti decided to call him up to the Italian national team. Speaking at the press conference earlier today, as cited by SempreMilan.it, Bonaventura explained that he left Milan with great motivation.
“I left Milan with great motivation, I knew that the new experience would be nice because I still had a great desire to do well and demonstrate my value. Then came Fiorentina, who have grown a lot in recent years, and it proved to be the ideal place for me to continue my career,” he stated.
It’s no secret that Bonaventura wanted to stay with the Rossoneri but he was never offered a contract renewal, forced to finish his spell with the club in front of an empty San Siro (due to Covid-19). An unworthy ending for such an important player.
