Romano: ‘Here we go!’ – Milan and Leverkusen agree €29m deal for Boniface

Victor Boniface to AC Milan has been given the ‘here we go’ as the striker will arrive from Bayer Leverkusen shortly.

Over the past 48 hours, reports have emerged suggesting that Milan were closing in on a deal for Boniface. After the links with Rasmus Hojlund, Dusan Vlahovic and many other centre-forwards, the management pivoted back to the Nigerian.

Talks seemed to develop quickly between the parties and it even emerged that a loan formula was being discussed. Through the negotiations, Boniface’s desire to join the Rossoneri was re-iterated, and he will get his wish.

Boniface to Milan: Here we go!

Now, Fabrizio Romano has written: “Victor Boniface to AC Milan, here we go! Verbal agreement between all parties for the Nigerian striker. €5m loan fee, €24m buy option clause not mandatory and contract until 2030 also done. Next step; medical tests ahead of signing all contracts.”

Matteo Moretto echoes the words of his colleague, stating: “Boniface-Milan. Complete agreement also on contractual terms (1+4) pending the passing of medical examinations. Deal already agreed with Bayer for a paid loan (€4/5m) with an option to buy. Overall package of approximately €30m.

The 24-year-old will arrive from Leverkusen, with whom he made 61 appearances and scored 32 goals, adding 12 assists and winning the Bundesliga plus the DFB-Pokal. He should land in Italy in the next 24 hours for the final steps before signing.
