Bryan Cristante is having a great season with Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma. Here are his most significant Serie A numbers from Sofascore:

Numbers truly important for a physical and box‑to‑box midfielder like the Italian. Perhaps not everyone remembers that the 1995‑born is a product of Milan's youth sector: with the Rossoneri Primavera he collected 57 appearances, 5 goals and one assist, while he did not find much luck in the first team. Only 5 appearances with the Rossoneri with one goal and one assist. After the adventure with the Devil, Cristante moved to Benfica, gradually developing as a player before returning to Italy, first to Atalanta and then to Roma.

The background from Giuseppe Riso and the historic swap with Giacomo Bonaventura

We talk about distant 2014 when Cristante was still a young prospect: Benfica closed that deal for about 6 million euros which for Milan meant a net capital gain and very important for the Rossoneri accounts. As Rso recalled, Milan took Bonaventura.

Adriano Galliani said at the time (words taken from Gazzetta.it): "The acquisition of Bonaventura is one of the most unusual things that has happened to me in 29 years of market. At 8 we thought the Biabiany‑Zaccardo swap would go through, but then it wasn't and this idea came to us. The player was heading elsewhere but was already in Milan." An operation that in hindsight was very important for the Devil: 184 appearances, 35 goals and 30 assists for Bonaventura with the Rossoneri shirt.
