LAGOS — Nigerian international and Bayer Leverkusen forward, Victor Boniface, is on the verge of completing a sensational move to Serie A giants AC Milan, with his medical scheduled for today.
According to reports, AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen have finalised the financial structure of the deal. The agreement includes a €5 million loan fee, with an additional non-mandatory buy option set at €24 million. This clause gives Milan the flexibility to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season.
“The deal is structured to give Milan immediate attacking depth while deferring the long-term commitment,” a source close to the negotiations told The Bureau News.
Final Step: Medical Examination
With all paperwork and club-to-club agreements in place, the only hurdle remaining is Boniface’s medical test. Once cleared, the 24-year-old striker will sign his new contract and be officially unveiled as an AC Milan player.
His arrival is expected to bolster Milan’s frontline as they push for domestic and European success this season.
A Win-Win Transfer
For Bayer Leverkusen, the deal provides a strategic financial benefit through the loan fee while keeping the door open for Boniface’s return if Milan decides not to trigger the buy option.
For Boniface, the move represents an exciting new chapter in his career. The Nigerian forward, who has impressed in the Bundesliga, will be keen to adapt quickly to Serie A and make an immediate impact at San Siro.
Nigerian Football on the Rise
Boniface’s transfer follows the trend of top Nigerian talents making their mark in Europe, further cementing the country’s reputation as a hub for world-class footballers. Fans across Nigeria will be eager to see how he performs in Italy’s top flight.
