Victor Boniface’s future is edging closer to a resolution as his agent, Atta Aneke, heads to Italy for decisive talks with AC Milan, Footynaija.com reports.
The Nigerian striker, currently at Bayer Leverkusen, is a step away from completing a move to Serie A.
Milan and Leverkusen have reportedly agreed on a loan arrangement that carries a €30 million purchase option. While both clubs have settled on the framework of the deal, final approval rests on discussions between Milan and Boniface’s camp over personal terms.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the 24-year-old has already indicated his willingness to join the Rossoneri, with only the fine details left to be ironed out. Aneke’s arrival in Milan is expected to accelerate negotiations and bring the move to a close.
The Rossoneri have turned to Boniface as they prepare for the departure of Swiss forward Noah Okafor, who is close to joining Leeds United.
Boniface, meanwhile, has found minutes hard to come by under new Leverkusen manager Erik ten Hag, who has favoured Patrick Schick as his first-choice striker.
With the 2026 World Cup qualifiers approaching, the Super Eagles forward is eager to secure regular football at club level. Milan see him as a powerful attacking option capable of complementing their frontline.
Boniface remains under contract with Leverkusen until 2028, but all parties are working towards sealing his transfer to AC Milan.
