Yassine Bounou (born 5 April 1991), commonly known as Bono, is a Canadian-born Moroccan professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Real Zaragoza, on loan from Atlético Madrid, as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Born in Montreal, Canada, Bono moved to Morocco at early age, and made his senior debuts with Wydad Casablanca in 2011, after being promoted to the first-team a year earlier. On 14 June 2012 he moved to La Liga's giants Atlético Madrid, being initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[1]
Bono appeared regularly for the B-team in the third level, and signed a new four-year deal on 31 May 2013.[2] In the 2014 summer, after profitting from Thibaut Courtois and Daniel Aranzubia's departures, he was definitely promoted to the main squad.
Bono made his first-team debut on 24 July 2014, in a 1–0 pre-season friendly win against CD Numancia.[3] On 1 September he was loaned to Segunda División's Real Zaragoza, in a season-long deal.[4]
International career
Bono was eligible to represent Canada or Morocco,[5] but opted to represent the latter, appearing with the under-20's in 2012 Toulon Tournament, playing in one match during the competition. He was also selected in the under-23's 18-men squad for the 2012 Summer Olympics, but acted as a backup to Mohamed Amsif during the tournament.
On 14 August 2013 Bono was called up to the main squad for a friendly match against Burkina Faso.[6] He made his debut in the following day, playing the entire second-half of an eventual 1–2 defeat.[7]
