Victor Boniface Joins AC Milan

AC Milan are closing in on the signing of Nigerian striker Victor Boniface, with a verbal agreement now reached between all parties involved in the transfer.

The deal, according to sources, will cost Milan a €5 million loan fee, while including a €24 million buy option clause that is not mandatory. Boniface has already agreed personal terms, with a contract running until 2030 ready for signature. The move now hinges on routine medical tests before the paperwork is finalized.

For Boniface, this transfer represents another major leap in his career. The 23-year-old forward has been in sensational form since his breakout performances in Europe, showcasing his strength, hold-up play, and sharp eye for goal. His consistency has earned him recognition not only in club football but also as a growing figure in Nigeria’s national team setup.

Milan, meanwhile, see Boniface as a key addition to their attacking options. The Rossoneri have been searching for more firepower to support their push for silverware in Serie A and Europe, and Boniface’s physicality and versatility fit well into the club’s long-term plans. His ability to play both as a central striker and in supporting roles gives head coach Paulo Fonseca flexibility in attack.

The move comes at a crucial time for Milan, who are balancing the need for immediate impact with a clear vision for the future. Signing Boniface on loan with a non-mandatory buy option allows the club to test his adaptation to Serie A while managing financial risks. If he settles quickly and delivers, the €24 million clause could prove a bargain for a player with his potential.

For Nigerian football fans, this transfer is important as it places another Super Eagles star at one of Europe’s historic giants. Boniface will be following in the footsteps of Nigerian legends like Nwankwo Kanu and Taribo West, who made their marks in Italy’s top flight. His success at San Siro could further strengthen the presence of Nigerian talent in elite European football.
