While Milan not-so-secretly aim to sign Joshua Zirkzee in the summer, they are readying some alternatives in case they can’t manage, and Victor Boniface is on their radar as well. He was having a tremendous campaign up until he suffered a serious thigh injury.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via Tag24), the Rossoneri are wary that acquiring the Bologna star will be difficult. Not only is his valuation sky-high, but they don’t know who they’ll have to negotiate with yet. Bayern Munich might activate their €40M buy-back clause just to flip him.
Milan tried to purchase Boniface before he joined Bayer Leverkusen from Union Saint-Gilloise but couldn’t come to terms with his agents. Die Aspirin snared him for €20M. His sale will have to fetch a significant sum for them to profit from it. His price tag is around €40/50M. He has registered 16 goals and 9 assists in 25 matches this season.
The Rossoneri might shop in the Bundesliga and are keen on Maxence Lacroix. A €15M offer could be enough to convince Wolfsburg since there’s only a year on the defender’s contract.
Our Take on Milan and Boniface
While it’s right to be prepared, it’s slightly worrying that they are getting linked to a new Zirkzee alternative every day. On the other hand, that situation is indeed quite messy. It’ll have to be untangled before the suitors could really start devising their offers. The Nigerian would be a slightly odd purchase and fit.
