Super Eagles striker Boniface reportedly reaches agreement to join Italian giants amid Osimhen and Lookman transfer saga

With Victor Osimhen’s departure from SSC Napoli confirmed and Ademola Lookman’s future at Atalanta increasingly uncertain, Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface appears poised to become the next Nigerian to make the leap to Serie A.

According to renowned transfer experts Fabrizio Romano and Florian Plettenberg, Boniface is closing in on a move to Italian powerhouse AC Milan after reaching a verbal agreement.

The deal involves Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Milan being in advanced negotiations over a permanent transfer for the Nigerian forward.

Osimhen’s time at Napoli, though marked by brilliant performances, was also riddled with challenges including injury setbacks and off-field controversies that occasionally clouded his standing at the club. These factors contributed to his decision to leave Napoli and seek a fresh start elsewhere.

Similarly, Lookman’s situation at Atalanta has turned rocky. Recently, the winger submitted a transfer request following broken promises from club management.

His future at Atalanta has become uncertain as he looks to reignite his career with a new club. But amid these struggles faced by his national teammates, Boniface appears to be making an upward move.

Transfer experts Romano and Plettenberg report that Boniface is close to a permanent transfer to AC Milan after reaching a verbal agreement.

Negotiations between Milan and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are advanced, with Leverkusen’s sporting director, Igli Tare, having submitted an official offer within the past 48 hours.

Leverkusen is currently reviewing the proposal, but reports indicate a strong likelihood of acceptance. Boniface himself is said to be determined to join Milan, having made his intentions clear.

This move could signal a bright new chapter not only for Boniface’s club career but also for Nigerian football, as he would link up with another teammate Samuel Chukwueze at the club.

Super Eagles supporters will be following this development with a keen interest they hope he will thrive in Serie A despite recent challenges seen with Osimhen and Lookman in Italy.
