Gallery: ‘Boniface to Milan’, ‘Won’t give up on Vlahovic’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

The front pages of the newspapers in Italy this morning are dominated by the fact AC Milan’s striker hunt may finally be ending.

The newspapers this morning have focused a lot on the Rossoneri’s pivot to the Nigerian striker, and what it might mean for Napoli who also want a centre-forward.

La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan: the reserve number 9. Hojlund says no: Boniface is the fall-back. The Dane refuses any loan offer (Napoli will now try too). Doubts about the Leverkusen striker.”

Corriere dello Sport: “Boniface displaces them. Milan surprise. Tare chooses the Nigerian from Leverkusen. Loan with option for the former Bayer player.”

Tuttosport: “Boniface to Milan. Hojlund to Conte. Tare reaches an agreement for the Nigerian Leverkusen player and won’t give up on Vlahovic.”

QS: “Milan rushing to sign Boniface. A turning point in the transfer market, with coach Gattuso visiting yesterday.”
