AC Milan are closing in on a high-profile signing as Victor Boniface’s agent, Emefie Aneke Atta, lands in Italy to finalise talks with the Serie A giants. Fabrizio Romano, renowned football transfer expert, confirms that AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen have agreed on an initial loan deal featuring a €30 million buy option for the Nigerian striker.
According to insiders, Boniface has already approved personal terms with Milan, signalling the transfer is nearing completion. The agreement, proposed by Milan’s sporting director Igli Tare within the last 48 hours, involves a season-long loan with an option to buy, with Leverkusen reportedly leaning toward acceptance pending minor final details.
At 24 years old, Boniface has seen his playing time reduced at Leverkusen under coach Erik ten Hag, who prefers Patrick Schick as the lead striker. Eager for more regular action ahead of Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the Super Eagles forward views AC Milan as the ideal next step in his burgeoning career.
AC Milan have prioritized strengthening their attacking options this summer, selecting Boniface ahead of other targets like Rasmus Højlund and Dušan Vlahović. Boniface is expected to complement Santiago Giménez effectively in the Rossoneri’s frontline.
