Club career

Early life and Nancy

Born in Évry, France, Bondo began playing football at VESC 91, aged four. He then played for Corbeil-Essonnes, Viry-Châtillon and Brétigny, before being scouted by Nancy, whom he joined in 2018. [3]

In August 2019, Bondo signed his first professional contract with the club, thus becoming Nancy's youngest player ever to do so. [4] [5] He made his professional debut on 24 November 2020, coming in as a substitute for Dorian Bertrand in the 73rd minute of a 1–0 Ligue 2 defeat against Grenoble; [6] however, he was sent off 14 minutes later. [7] On 22 December of the same year, the midfielder scored his first professional goal, as he opened the score of a league match against Chambly, which ultimately ended in a 3–3 draw. [8]

On 10 June 2022, Bondo announced his departure from Nancy, after deciding not to extend his contract, following the club's relegation to Championnat National. [9]

Monza

On 28 July 2022, Bondo joined newly-promoted Serie A side Monza on a free transfer, signing a three-year contract in the process. [10] He then made his Serie A debut on 30 August, coming in as a substitute for Stefano Sensi at the 85th minute of a 3–0 away defeat to Roma. [11]

On 31 January 2023, Bondo moved to Serie B club Reggina on a six-month loan. [12] He played three games. [13]

Having returned to Monza at the end of his loan, Bondo scored his first Serie A goal on 18 February 2024, a long-distance shot in a 4–2 win against AC Milan. [14]

AC Milan

On 3 February 2025, Bondo joined AC Milan by signing a contract until 2029. [15]

International career

Born in France, Bondo could also choose to represent DR Congo or Congo Republic internationally, due to his family's origins. [5] He has represented his native country at several youth international levels. [16]

In June 2022, Bondo was included in the France national under-19 team that took part in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship, [17] where the Bleuets reached the semi-finals before losing to eventual runners-up Israel. [18]

Personal life

Bondo's father is from DR Congo, while his mother is from Congo Republic. [5]
