Leonardo Bonucci Italian Footballer Plays For BariLeonardo Bonucci (born 1 May 1987) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender for Serie A club Bari. He is a centre back, but can also play on both wings. Bonucci started his career at Viterbese but was loaned to Internazionale in the summer of 2005.
Bonucci made his Serie A debut in the last match of 2005–06 season, against Cagliari Calcio. At the end of the season, Inter bought Bonucci outright. He played his first Coppa Italia match against Messina on 9th November 2006 when he came off the bench for substitute Fabio Grosso in the 86th minute. Bonucci featured in two more Coppa Italia games for Inter that season when he was brought on for the substituted Walter Samuel at half-time during the quarter final second leg match against Empoli and as a starter in the semi final second leg tie against Sampdoria.
In January 2007, 50% of Bonucci's registration rights were sold to Treviso by Inter along with 50% of the registration rights for fellow Primavera Team team-mate Daniel Maa Boumsong. Bonucci subsequently remained at Inter until June 30th while Maa Boumsong returned from Treviso where he spent the first half of the season on loan. During Bonucci's last season with Inter's U-20 Youth Team, he won the Italian "Primavera" U20 Youth League.
Bonucci never received a call-up from Italy's youth team but his Genoa team-mates Andrea Ranocchia, Domenico Criscito, Salvatore Bocchetti and former Inter team-mate Marco Andreolli did. But after an impressive season at Bari, he received his first call-up from Italy senior team in February 2010 for a friendly match against Cameroon. Half of Marcello Lippi's experimental squad were in-experienced players and 3 of them (including Bonucci) received their first call-up, partly due to injuries to the regular starters. He was included in the starting line-up along with national team regulars Fabio Cannavaro and Giorgio Chiellini to form the defense line in a 3–4–3 formation. On 2 May 2010, Bonucci was call-up to 29-men training camp in Rome on 4-5 May.
