Around a month ago, Victor Boniface emphasized that it wanted to stay with Bayer Leverkusen. Now the departure of the 24 -year -old striker should be imminent. According to match reports from Germany and Italy, Boniface agreed with AC Milan. And the signs are also available between the clubs.

According to “Sky”, the Werkself and Milan are in direct exchange. An offer has already been received in Leverkusen in the past few hours. This is also confirmed by transfer reporters Gianluca di Marzio. Optimism spreads, it says from the Italian. It is about a fixed transfer of the Nigerian, which was hired by Bayer 04 two years ago for a good 22 million euros and was able to improve its market value to twice the purchase amount. In view of the difficult situation of the attacker on the Rhine, the assessment decreased slightly to currently 40 million euros after last season.
“Certainly, my future is here. From my side, it is 100 percent clear that I will stay. I have three years of the contract, I want to win titles with Bayer, play a great season,” said Boniface in July in the “Bild” interview. After the past season, it could be questioned that Boniface would be in Leverkusen. He had lost his rank as the first election in the storm center after his first Bayer year to Patrik Schick (29). Although the colleague had recently even spoken out for a common double tip with Boniface, it has become increasingly clearer in recent weeks that it should be chic, which should be preceded by the storm in the future. As an “engine of development” at Bayer 04, sports director Simon Rolfes described the Czech, when his contract was extended early at the beginning of the month.
Despite its loss of status, Boniface has nothing to accuse itself of statistically. The 32 goals and twelve templates in 61 games and 3,496 minutes of play since his arrival in Leverkusen mean a goal participation every 80 minutes for the striker, who was always injured for longer. But last season he was only 16 times in the starting eleven in all competitions. “Even when it didn’t go so well for me last season, I spoke to Simon Rolfes and said to him: I love it here,” said Boniface in the interview in July. “It is important for me now: I want to make a good preparation so that I will get fit for the new season.” Instead, it now seems to be going out to move to Milan.
I would exclude loan with KO, but not unrealistic with the obligation to buy. Boniface has no future in Leverkusen, which is a shame on his talent. But his attitude and character prevent him tremendously, and he is also very susceptible to injury. If you get a combination of a rental fee and obligation to buy for 40+ million here, then you would have to do it and you could put the freed-free budget into the Rome cracker. …
