On 18 May 2014, Bonazzoli made his senior debut against Chievo Verona as a substitute for Rubén Botta in the 85th minute of a 12 away defeat on the last day of the Serie A season.[6] He became the second youngest footballer to play in Serie A for Inter aged 16 years, 11 months and 27 days, 17 days older than Massimo Pellegrini, who debuted in 1982.[4]

On 2 February 2015, he signed for fellow league team Sampdoria for €4.5 million,[7] but would remain at Inter on loan until the end of the season.[8]

On 21 January 2016 he was signed by Serie B club Lanciano on loan, with an option to purchase.[9]
