The much-anticipated transfer of Nigerian striker Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen to Italian giants AC Milan has reached a decisive stage, with fresh details now emerging regarding the structure of the deal. According to reports, both clubs have already settled on the framework of the transfer. Boniface is set to join AC Milan on an initial loan deal, which includes a €30 million buy option. However, this option is not mandatory, meaning Milan will not be obliged to activate it at the end of the loan period. Personal Terms in Progress While the clubs have struck a verbal agreement, the finalization of the move now depends on negotiations between AC Milan and Boniface’s representatives. The player’s agents are currently working through the personal terms, which remain the last crucial step before the transfer can be completed. Fabrizio Romano Confirms Agreement Renowned football transfer journalist, Fabrizio Romano, confirmed the development on Wednesday through his official X account. In his post, Romano stated: “AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen preparing formal documents after verbal agreement for Victor Boniface. Loan deal with €30m buy option clause not mandatory. AC Milan now in direct talks with Victor Boniface’s agent over personal terms, key final step to get the deal done.” This update has sparked excitement among AC Milan fans, who see Boniface as a potential key addition to bolster the club’s attacking options ahead of the new Serie A season. Why This Move Matters Boniface, who has been impressive at Bayer Leverkusen, brings pace, physical presence, and a sharp eye for goal. Should the deal go through, AC Milan will have secured a versatile striker capable of adapting quickly to Italian football. For Leverkusen, the deal represents a smart strategy, allowing them to potentially cash in at a significant value while still retaining flexibility should Boniface’s long-term future remain in question
