€23 million. This is the fee paid by Inter Milan on July 5 to secure the services of Ange-Yoan Bonny. The French striker, born in 2003, arrives permanently from Parma Calcio. Known for his speed and strength, Bonny possesses exceptional physicality and mobility. He is a collective striker and playmaker who poses a threat to opponents with his technical skills. As the 26th French player in Inter’s history, Bonny reunites with Cristian Chivu, his coach from last season at Parma, under Inter’s blue and black colors. This marks a new chapter in Ange-Yoan Bonny’s dream, now colored in black and blue.
Despite the presence of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez in Inter’s attack, Bonny makes the most of every minute provided by his coach, Christian Chivu. On Sunday night, during the 11th round of Serie A, the Aubervilliers native stood out again in his team’s 2-0 victory against Udinese. The 1.89m tall striker seized a powerful cross from Federico Dimarco to double the lead in the 62nd minute, helping Milan regain the top position in Serie A. This performance adds to his impressive record of 4 goals and 5 assists in 15 matches across all competitions (514 minutes played), showcasing his role as a valuable asset for the team.
Inter’s New Offensive Gem
Evidence of his talent? His fantastic match against Cremonese, where he recorded 3 assists and scored a goal. “He is always there for the team, progressing step by step. He’s a big guy, not at all the typical striker I usually like. Yet, remarkably, he is incredibly skilled technically and very surprising. Right foot, left foot, he’s comfortable in all situations,” mentioned Landry Chauvin, his former U19 coach, impressed by the Franco-Ivorian’s attributes and work ethic. With his unique profile and exceptional technique, Bonny is winning over everyone.
“I thought it would take him longer to adapt and that the beginning would be tough. But he has integrated perfectly into one of the largest clubs in Italy. He is a number 10 in a number 9’s body, which is key to understanding him. He is an elegant striker with great ball control that allows him to dictate the game’s flow with his dribbles and passes. He enjoys moving away from the line to participate in play but knows how to position himself well. He has showcased his abilities when playing alone upfront, but Bonny is even more comfortable with another striker alongside him,” said Antonio Gagliardi, former assistant coach at Parma. Currently on cloud nine, Ange-Yoan Bonny has the potential to evolve beyond just a backup at Inter and perhaps secure a spot in the French national team in the coming months…
