AC Milan eyes Nigerian star with 34-goal involvement as backup to PSG-linked Thuram
Posted : 15 June 2023
AC Milan maintains a keen interest in Nigerian forward Victor Boniface as a potential alternative option in case negotiations for their primary target, Marcus Thuram, encounter complications, considering the growing interest from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for Thuram's signature.
While Thuram remains the top choice for AC Milan's new management, they are aware of the need to have backup options in the transfer market, and Boniface has emerged as a viable candidate due to his impressive performances for Union Saint-Gilloise.
Recent reports from Sempermilan.it (via PianetaMilan) suggest that AC Milan could shift their focus to Boniface if negotiations for Thuram prove to be challenging.
The Nigerian forward is valued at a relatively reasonable price, estimated to be in the range of 10 to 15 million euros, which aligns with AC Milan's budget for the transfer market.
Victor Boniface has garnered recognition as one of Nigeria's standout talents in Belgium and throughout Europe.
After joining Union SG in August 2022 for a fee of 2 million euros, the 22-year-old forward has experienced a significant rise in his reputation.
In the current season, Boniface has made a remarkable impact, contributing to an impressive total of 34 goals (22 goals and 12 assists) in 55 games.
His standout performances include netting six goals in the Europa League, securing his position as one of the top scorers in the competition.
It is worth noting that Boniface's achievement as the leading scorer in the Europa League marks a historic moment for Nigerian football.
Additionally, his outstanding displays earned him a well-deserved place in the Europa League Team of the Season, further solidifying his reputation as a rising star.
As AC Milan continues to navigate the transfer market, the inclusion of Victor Boniface as a potential backup option showcases their strategic approach in securing talent and ensuring they have alternative options should negotiations for their primary target, Marcus Thuram, face challenges.
