Giacomo "Jack" Bonaventura[2] (Italian: [ˈdʒaːkomo ˈdʒɛk ˌbɔnavenˈtuːra; - bo-]; born 22 August 1989) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Saudi Pro League club Al-Shabab and the Italy national team.

Bonaventura started his senior career at Atalanta in the Serie A in 2007; his impressive performances earned him a €7 million transfer to AC Milan in 2014, where he spent six seasons. He then joined Fiorentina in 2020, before leaving Italy to join Saudi club Al-Shabab in 2024.

Bonaventura became a youth international in 2008, first playing for the Italy under-19s and later the under-20s. He made his senior international debut on 31 May 2013, in a friendly match against San Marino.
