With 37-year-old Olivier Giroud reportedly close to leaving the club in the summer in favour of a new adventure in the MLS with LA FC, it seems that AC Milan can no longer postpone the search for a new centre-forward. In the summer, they will have to find a reliable player who can provide many goals.
Besides the name of Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna, there is also the profile of Victor Boniface, as pointed out today by the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
The 23-year-old Nigerian talent was linked with AC Milan in the past as well and it seems that his name is back in fashion at Casa Milan. The striker who stands at 190 centimetres tall joined Bayer Leverkusen from Union St. Gilloise last summer for a fee around 20 million euros.
His first year in Germany was characterized by a sensational start to the season: 16 goals and 9 assists in 25 games between the league, the domestic cup competition, and the Europa League. Then came the injury that kept him out of the Africa Cup of Nations and the second half of the season. The right-footed player's performance this year has increased his valuation to a minimum of 40 million euros. As for his contract, it runs until the summer of 2028.
