AC Milan, Leverkusen in Advanced Talks Over Victor Boniface Loan Deal

AC Milan are closing in on a deal to sign Nigerian forward Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen, with negotiations between the two clubs now at an advanced stage.

According to reports, Boniface has already agreed to Milan’s contract proposal, and the move is expected to be structured as a loan with an option to buy. Sky Sports Germany reports that Milan submitted an official bid within the past 48 hours, which Leverkusen are currently evaluating as the final terms are being negotiated.

Sources close to the situation say all parties remain optimistic that the deal will be finalized soon.

Former Lazio sporting director Igli Tare is said to be playing a key role in facilitating the move. Boniface, a standout performer for Leverkusen last season, has reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Milan and is now awaiting the final go-ahead to complete his switch to Serie A.

Leverkusen’s new head coach, Erik ten Hag, is believed to be prioritizing Patrik Schick as his first-choice striker and is open to Boniface’s departure.
