Nigerian forward Victor Boniface is on the brink of a major transfer move, having completed the first stage of his medicals in Milan. The talented striker is now edging closer to finalizing a switch from Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen to an unnamed Serie A club, in what could be one of the standout deals of the summer transfer window.
Boniface, who made headlines last season with his explosive performances in Germany, has been a target for several European clubs following an impressive campaign that saw him contribute goals and assists for Leverkusen. His power, pace, and technical ability have made him a standout figure, and now Italian football seems to be his next destination.
Sources close to the deal reveal that the first part of Boniface’s medical assessment was successful, with only a few formalities remaining before the move becomes official. While the name of the Serie A club is yet to be confirmed, AC Milan and Napoli have been among those previously linked with the 23-year-old.
Serie A officials and football pundits have also weighed in on the potential transfer, describing Boniface as a player who could bring something different to the Italian game. His physicality, energy, and finishing ability could make him a nightmare for defenders across the league.
The final stages of the transfer could be completed within the next few days, pending the outcome of the remaining medical tests and official paperwork. Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation, as the Nigerian could soon be unveiled in one of Italy’s iconic football shirts.
With the move nearing completion, Boniface is poised to join a long list of Nigerian greats who’ve made their mark in Italy — from Obafemi Martins to Victor Osimhen. This next chapter promises to be an exciting one for both the player and Nigerian football.
The striker’s potential move to Italy is seen as a strategic step forward in his career, as Serie A continues to attract top talent and provide a competitive platform for young African stars to shine. Boniface’s agents are reportedly in final negotiations with the Italian club’s management to finalize personal terms.
Boniface joined Bayer Leverkusen in 2023 from Union Saint-Gilloise and quickly became a fan favorite. His ability to hold up play, link with teammates, and score decisive goals made him crucial to Leverkusen’s attacking setup. A move to Italy would mark his third league in Europe, showing his growing value on the continent.
In Nigeria, fans have taken to social media to celebrate the development, expressing pride in Boniface's continuous rise in European football. Many believe the move will elevate his profile further ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen is expected to make a significant profit from the sale. The German club had signed Boniface for a reported €20 million, and his value has risen after just one season, showing the impact he’s made in such a short period.
