Victor Boniface has agreed to terms with "AC Milan" for a potential summer transfer, marking a significant move for the 24-year-old Nigerian forward currently playing for "Bayer Leverkusen". The transfer talks are now progressing to the next stage as the Italian giants begin formal negotiations with the Bundesliga champions.
"I'm ready for this new challenge in my career. Milan is a historic club with amazing fans," – a source close to the player revealed regarding Boniface's mindset about the potential move.
AC Milan has initiated discussions with the German side regarding the transfer fee, with Transfermarkt valuing the Nigerian striker at approximately 40 million euros. The Rossoneri are looking to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season.
Interestingly, Boniface's most recent campaign with "Leverkusen" saw him net 11 goals in just 27 appearances across all competitions. His playing time was notably limited due to a hamstring injury that kept him sidelined for several months.
The Nigerian forward would bring pace and physicality to Milan's frontline if the deal goes through. Short but powerful.
By the way, "AC Milan" isn't putting all their eggs in one basket. The Italian club is also reportedly considering Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk as another option to strengthen their attack for the upcoming season.
Will Boniface succeed where many other forwards have struggled at the San Siro in recent years? Only time will tell if this transfer materializes and how the Nigerian adapts to the tactical demands of Serie A.
