Leonardo Bonucci could soon close the Union Berlin chapter. The Italian is said to be about to move to Fenerbahce in Istanbul. In Köpenick they are already focusing on possible replacements.

Leonardo Bonucci came to Berlin on a free transfer in the summer of 2023, but was then unable to really assert himself at Union. Seven appearances in the Bundesliga (kicker grade average 4.20) and three more in the Champions League – that was all there was to it for the 121-time Italian national player.
Reports recently emerged that Bonucci, who also has hopes of participating in the European Championships with the Squadra Azzurra, is considering turning his back on the Bundesliga – also for family reasons. A return to Serie A was originally considered likely, but a move to AS Roma fell through while Genoa could not afford the central defender’s lavish salary.
Does Werder Bremen learn from its mistakes?
Watzke is leaving BVB after 20 years, Brazil has a new national coach, “win-win” for Timo Werner in the Premier League and a detailed water level report from the Weser.

Bonucci was also there at the start of training in Berlin, but a change is still conceivable. Now “Fanatik” reports that Bonucci is about to move to Fenerbahce. The Turkish league leaders from Istanbul are currently desperately looking for a central defender, as two players, Rodrigo Becao and Luan Peres, are injured and Alexander Djiku is with Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Erlic on Berlin’s radar
If Bonucci leaves the Iron Men, it is quite conceivable that the Berliners would like to bring in a replacement. According to kicker information, one candidate would be Martin Erlic from Sassuolo Calcio. The 25-year-old is considered strong in the air and in duels.
However, Erlic is not one of the fastest players in his profession. The 1.93 m giant has been playing in Italy for years, can now boast 104 Serie A games and has already played seven international matches for Croatia.
