Leonardo Bonucci introduces himself

Through an Instagram post, Leonardo Bonucci greeted the Union Berlin world: "For me è something special to take a step abroad for the first time in my career. At Union I have the opportunity to continue playing at the highest level and to support the team on its journey in three challenging competitions with my experience. I really look forward to this new phase of my career. Go Union!".

On Friday he had dedicated a post to Juventus fans: "I am Leonardo Bonucci and I have been a professional footballer for 19 years. In this long time of commitment and dedication I know I have been a divisive person and that's why all the love I have received has always been mixed with much more. Slaps and caresses. Today, true to myself, I look into your eyes, fans and judges, because a story like this deserves respect. È a time of pained goodbyes that to decide, reluctantly, that you è really reached the end. Thank you for the strength of the hugs but also for all the criticism that made me realize who I had to learn to be". 

"What we achieved together, time has told, was not easy to build and will not be easy to repeat but the heart è capable of great memory. You know it well. Today, Bianconeri fans, the greatest chapter of my life closes. I dreamed of a fair ending the chance to close it with you. This unfortunately will not happen; but time, once again, will be our friend. I am certain of that. In tomorrow, which now è already; here, will beà always me: the same Leonardo, the same Bonucci".
