Milan flop Bondo could come full circle at Monza | OneFootball

Milan flop Warren Bondo will return to base after Cremonese’s relegation, but could remarkably come full circle by going back to newly-promoted Monza.

The midfielder is still only 22 years of age, but is already remarkably well travelled in his career.

He came to Italy for Monza in 2022, and after a loan spell at Reggina, he made his mark during promotion from Serie B and the first half of the 2024-25 season in Serie A.

Bondo failed to make Milan impact

His performances for Monza proved impressive enough to earn a €10.5m plus up to €5m add-ons transfer to Milan in February 2025.

However, it was a disastrous deal with just five competitive games played in the Rossoneri jersey and a total 164 minutes on the pitch.

Bondo was shuffled off to Cremonese on loan last summer, but made practically no impact there either, given just 28 appearances between Serie A and the Coppa Italia for a team that was relegated.

Now he is returning from that experience and has no place at Milan, so Calciomercato claim that the midfielder could come full circle and join Monza again.

The club just earned promotion from Serie B via the play-offs, making the step up along with Venezia and Frosinone.

Milan could hope to include a €6m obligation to buy in case Monza manage to survive the season in Serie A.
