Does he intend to end his professional career at Roma now?
Bonnuci is now 36 years old and if in the end he ends up at Roma for a few seasons actually I think this is the last time for a Bonnuci to end his professional career as a player.
Currently Roma also seems to have to look for sufficient alternatives because Smalling and Marash Kumbulla are still struggling with their injuries so there is indeed a shortage in the Roma defense.
At the moment it is possible for Bonnuci to be used as an alternative to strengthen the current Roma defense but on the other hand there are rumors blowing now where Roma are also trying to approach Trevor Chalobah and Jakub Kiwior but indeed this is a little complicated because Milan also wants the same players to strengthen their defense.
Bonucci might be able to perform with AS Roma like he used to before. He is more suited with the Serie A nature than the Bundesliga.
Currently, AS Roma actually needs to strengthen their defense. Bonucci had left Juventus this year and only was able to play 7 matches for Union Berlin. I think he might Join MLS or Saudi Pro League as well if he isn't able to join a suitable club in Europe.
I think if he gets to join Roma, then he should retire there. He played almost his whole life in Italy, and he is most comfortable there.
Serie A is not a new place for Bonnucci because it can be said that from the beginning of his career even stepping on prime and the decline in performance that occurred due to the age factor was spent in Serie A and indeed not only Juventus is a big club that he has defended considering Milan and Inter have also felt Bonnucci's services although not as long as when he was at Juventus so in this case we don't need to worry about adaptation because Bonnucci knows what to do when in Rome.
At the moment there is no further news about this but I think with the current situation, Bonnucci's great hopes as a patch in the Roma defense line are still very much possible.

Age is beckoning on a lot of players and they've just got to do what is left before retirement. Now every man has his own decision to make based on how it pleases him. Bonnuci has been a great player, his tremendous effort every team building he's been a partaker of. He's quality in himself. There's just going to be a void to be filled in his absence. Even though he's not a loud star, he's had impact in Roma as a team.
Now Mourinho has to make efforts to finding a perfect replacement too that'd match Bonnuci's impact. There are a number of players that can really be as impactful as him even though it just would take a while to settle in. It's much better than leaving the void unattended. Thesame scenario apply to all retirement players as their absence just has to be replaced again. Most of these players also may choose to round up their retirement in their current team whilst some would opt to go for a high paying team and retire there.
In Bonucci's prime, of course we know how strong he was in defense whether it was at the club or in the national team so we will never doubt his strength when he was on the field at that time but indeed slowly we also know how conditions must affect especially with the situation that occurs where age is always a problem for athletes because it cannot be changed.
Currently Bonnucci can still be for Roma even though he is 36 years old now but for Serie A this is still possible because after all we have also seen a lot of ages that are even more than that in Serie A and it can still be very competitive so Bonnucci is also still worth considering.
In addition, Roma also need defenders with their current condition because they are also still short of players due to the fitness of the defenders who require them to be sidelined for a while.
