“All I can say is I’ve never known a summer like this,” Bonaventura told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“We’ve bought players who, at the start of the transfer window, you think ‘yeah it’d be nice if they came’… well they really did come!
“Leo is a winner, a pillar of the national team and his arrival is a fantastic thing. I didn’t seriously think he’d come.
“From what I know of him, his character will be very useful in the dressing room which is coming from troubled years, he’s destined to become a real point of reference.
“Will he be captain? It’s up to [Coach Vincenzo] Montella. Everyone has to be a bit of a captain though, and then in its heart a group knows who the real leader is.”
