Italian legend defender Leonardo Bonucci's good deed is drawing attention.
British media "Tribuna" reported on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) that "Bonucci had not forgotten the short time he spent in Union Berlin last season and the impact the club had on him."
According to media, Bonucci donated 10,000 euros (about 14.83 million won) for his treatment for Union Berlin's under-19 team goalkeeper Berkin Arlano-Gullarir, who was recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma and has to amputate his leg.
When the news was announced, Bonucci's good deed, which made a large sum of money for his junior who did not have enough money, is drawing applause. In addition, Bonucci is said to have played for Union Berlin for only 10 games in his long career, making his good deed even more special.
Bonucci is truly an Italian legendary defender. He grew up in the Inter youth system, joined by Treviso, Pisa, Genoa and Bari, and became a member of the world-renowned Juventus F.C. in 2010.
Since then, he has played in 502 matches, winning eight Serie A titles in Italy, five Copa Italy, and five Supercopa Italiana titles. He briefly moved to rival AC Milan and drew resentment from fans, but soon returned to show a steady performance.
He also left an outstanding record as a defender for the Italian national team. He played 121 A-match games and was a key player when he won the UEFA Euro 2020. 안전놀이터
Like all players, Bonucci's time couldn't have been forever. He was excluded from Juventus' major power in the second half of the 2022/23 season and opted to move to Union Berlin.
However, Bonucci did not meet expectations at Union Berlin and played only 10 matches, including three UEFA Champions League (UCL), before moving to Fenerbahce, Turkiye, to meet his final moments of career.
