Significant but not impossible<\/p>\n
Boniface is one of the options leading the Diavolo\u2019s shortlist, and he has already given his \u2018openness\u2019 to a move to Milan. However, it is not as simple as that, as we have seen with the Ardon Jashari saga<\/a>. Today, Fabrizio Romano spoke on his YouTube channel about the situation, as MilanNews<\/a> relay.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that Victor Boniface is on AC Milan\u2019s list as one of their attacking options, a player AC Milan really likes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe unfortunate thing about this situation is that between March and April, Boniface was considered a player on the way out by Bayer Leverkusen, who had practically sold him to Al Nassr at the end of January, who then cancelled the deal to sign Duran. But it was really done, Boniface had even passed his medical for Al Nassr. <\/p>\n \u201cBoniface was considered an outgoing player for a long time, but then what happened? Erik ten Hag arrived and expressed his intention to play with two strikers and to believe not only in Schick but also in Boniface: this changed the assessments. <\/p>\n \u201cWhile he was a player on the way out up to a certain point, late April-early May of this year, with the arrival of ten Hag, Boniface\u2019s importance changed,\u201d the journalist states.<\/p>\n \u201cFor this reason, Leverkusen is currently asking for a minimum fee of between \u20ac40 and \u20ac45 million. A significant sum, given ten Hag\u2019s desire to keep him, not push him out of the club. This is why the costs of this deal are not simple.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, compared to other options, such as Nicolas Jackson, who would cost a lot, we can cross him out because the costs are extremely high, and for Milan, as for any other Italian club, a \u20ac70, \u20ac80, or \u20ac90 million deal is almost unthinkable today.<\/p>\n \u201cUnlike Jackson, for Boniface, the fee Leverkusen is asking for is significant, but it\u2019s not a sealed and closed door. We\u2019ll wait and see how this option can advance, or whether Milan will choose to pursue another striker.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Victor Boniface has emerged as one of the options for AC Milan this summer.
