Warren Pierre Bondo (born 15 September 2003) is a French professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Serie A club Monza.

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]

Loan to Reggina

On 31 January 2023, Bondo was sent on a six-month loan to Serie B club Reggina.[12]

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.[13]

In June 2022, Bondo was included in the France national under-19 team that took part in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship,[14] where the Bleuets reached the semi-finals before losing to eventual runners-up Israel.[15]

Personal life

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