Now that all have gone, Rossoneri need top striker – could Nigerian be just what they need?

Milan has dismantled last season’s attacking axis by sending Tammy Abraham back to Roma, parting ways with Luka Jovic, and loaning out promising 17-year-old Francesco Camarda to Lecce. The only striker remaining at San Siro is Santiago Gimenez.With the club aiming to return to European competition – specifically the Champions League – the sporting sector, led by Igli Tare, is fully aware that entering the season with just one forward is not an option. As a result, Milan is actively looking for reinforcements.##NAJAVA_MECA_9004504##Italian media have long speculated about Dusan Vlahovic as a potential target, and more recently, Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy and Udinese’s Lorenzo Lucca have emerged as possible additions. However, according to the well-informed Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri have set their sights on Victor Boniface.The Nigerian was a revelation in the 2023/24 season – his first in one of Europe’s top five leagues – delivering a flurry of goals and assists to help Bayer Leverkusen claim a domestic double. Still, injuries slowed him down and, as a result, his current market value has dipped compared to the beginning of 2025.Boniface to partner Ronaldo?Back in January, Al Nassr weighed up a move for Boniface but ultimately chose to pay €77 million for Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran instead. At the time, Leverkusen had valued Boniface at €50-60 million. Boniface lost his starting place to Patrik Schick, featured less frequently, and found the net only sporadically. Understandably, his price has since declined. According to Gazzetta, Milan believes the former Union Saint-Gilloise striker could now be available for €30-40 million – a figure the Italian giants would be willing to meet, including the Nigerian’s personal terms.##NAJAVA_MECA_9006258##Physically and technically gifted, Boniface would bring Milan much-needed stability and edge in the penalty area. He also boasts strong vision and playmaking ability – since joining Leverkusen, he has recorded 32 goals and 12 assists in 61 appearances.Milan has yet to open formal negotiations with the Bundesliga runners-up, but that could change soon.
