This afternoon, a bit of a shock has occurred as AC Milan have submitted an official bid for Victor Boniface, per reports.
It has seemed, for the longest time, that Rasmus Hojlund or Dusan Vlahovic would be the one to arrive this summer. Reports even today have suggested as much, with Daniele Longo stating that they were the ‘only options’.
However, it appears that Milan have been working in the shadows, with reports suggesting that things are advanced with Victor Boniface.
Boniface: An advanced situation
In the past few minutes, Fabrizio Romano has stated that the Rossoneri are in ‘advanced talks’ with Bayer Leverkusen regarding a deal for the Nigerian. Negotiations are ‘underway’ with him already saying yes to a contract proposal.

What is also being reported is that an official offer has already been prepared and sent to Germany this afternoon, as Gianluca Di Marzio states, via MilanNews. The club, as is reported, have ‘decisively turned’ to Boniface, who is getting ‘closer and closer’.
Florian Plettenberg (via Garante_Il on X), a reporter for Sky Germany, also states that things are progressing, even adding that Leverkusen, though unsure about a deal, are ‘leaning towards yes’, perhaps due to the striker’s will to go to Milan.
