Super Eagles forward, Victor Boniface, is edging closer to a sensational switch to AC Milan from Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen, according to reports from Plettigoal.

Negotiations between both clubs are said to be at an advanced stage, with Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri identifying the Nigerian international as a top transfer priority.

The Rossoneri, who are in search of a proven striker following the departures of Álvaro Morata and Tammy Abraham, have already received the green light from Boniface and his representatives to finalize the deal.

Talks are now focused on reaching financial agreements with Leverkusen for the 24-year-old striker, who previously came close to joining Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia earlier this year before the deal collapsed.

If this deal goes through, Victor Boniface could be walking into the biggest stage of his career yet. From leading the line at Bayer Leverkusen to potentially donning the iconic red and black of AC Milan, this is a move that not only elevates his profile but also underscores the growing influence of Nigerian talent in Europe’s elite leagues.

For Milan, this move makes perfect sense. Boniface is young, powerful, and clinical—a striker with the energy and hunger to become a long-term solution. Unlike short-term marquee names, he represents both immediate impact and future potential. His style of play—physical yet skillful—fits seamlessly into the Serie A, a league where tactical awareness and resilience are as vital as finishing.

From a Nigerian perspective, this is a moment of pride. In recent years, Super Eagles forwards have continued to shine in Europe, with the likes of Victor Osimhen and Taiwo Awoniyi raising the country’s flag high. Boniface joining AC Milan would not only expand Nigeria’s footprint in Italy but also give the Super Eagles a forward line bursting with world-class experience ahead of international tournaments.

But with opportunity comes pressure. Milan is a club with a glorious past and demanding fans who expect their strikers to deliver immediately. If Boniface can handle that weight, he has the chance to etch his name alongside African greats who once graced the San Siro.

At 24, he has time, talent, and momentum on his side. Now, the stage is set—Victor Boniface could soon be living a dream that many only imagine.
