Victor Boniface is expected to complete a move away from Bayer Leverkusen, but he will remain in the Bundesliga.
As a reminder, Milan were on the verge of signing Boniface a couple of weeks ago on what would have been an initial loan with an option to buy. However, concerns about his knee led to the club seeking further medical opinion, and eventually the deal was called off.

Since then, things had gone quiet on the Boniface front and Milan are yet to sign a natural striker, even though Christopher Nkunku did arrive from Chelsea. The Nigerian did break his silence on things during a stream.
In recent days though a new opportunity has emerged for Boniface: Werder Bremen. They came forward and offered a dry loan which Bayer Leverkusen have accepted, seemingly keen on offloading the forward.
Fabrizio Romano has provided the following update on social media: “Victor Boniface has signed his Werder Bremen contract until June 2026, loan with part of the salary covered. Medical completed as revealed.”
It comes after the news that Erik Ten Hag was sacked as Leverkusen’s head coach just two games into his tenure, so it is certainly a big shake-up for the Bundesliga runners-up from last year.
Interested to see how many games he plays this season. Its possible we were too harsh, or that Werder Bremen medical team are too lenient, in their assessment
Exactly @kayson
Stil wondering how much Dovbyk of a guy is better than Boniface at 28.
Dovbyk is not better than him.
I don’t understand why we didn’t do just a dry loan considering we never ended up signing a 9
mogli smo za 5 mil eura !!! ali koljeno je reklo NE
They will go with our youngster… Primavera and leao…lets see the next three games…looks m
not bad our squad…now it depends on mister..without fofana looks not that bad…ricci will back up the cb’s…
Our striker could get us for the next star..it depends ond the defense…thats why we go with allegri. Thats he’s duty…
My friend is juve fan. He says to me. Good luck with allegri…😂

Allegri and musah…😂♥️🖤🫶🏽
Really starting to wish we’d taken the gamble for the sake of about 7M, considering the alternatives.
If we decided to go for Vlahovic instead then fair game. Reader, we did not.
I think. Vlahovic just started to play right when he knew he would be on the bench. Better with our player. He is not worth for milan…
Hilarious!
Not that he passed the medical but that Bremen got him on a dry loan with part of salary covered.
We were paying 5m and full salary.
At the start of summer we had
Gimenez
Abraham
Jovic
Colombo
Camarda
Morata
Now we have…. Gimenez
Dumbest management in world football?
Probably
Anyone thinking top 4 is delusional. Top half of the table will be realistic
Likely this medical was too lenient because the terms were a loan and really favorable.
I think the biggest mistake this dumb ass management made is letting jovic leave…atleast Gimenez and jovic could have been a viable options right now. Can just stay away from the club of my heart since 2003. Forza Milano!
Well said
They sold Okafor, and I agree they should have at least kept Jovic.
Its kind of gamble. The other team want to take advantage and go for the players we are seeking fore. Lets see how it works… Its like Poker dudes…cheerio… (Sorry about my pronounciation) Im from swiss and a dont correct it before i post. I think you understand what im writing though…😘♥️🖤🫶🏽🙏🏽✌🏾😁
I wish him best of luck. I really felt bad for him when he made that social media post. Hope it goes well for him.
This management is bad as bad as an earthquake
We should have signed him or have kept Jovic. It wasn´t that difficult, but they still messed up. But I think Tare let Jovic go because Allegri didn´t want him (he probably thought it would block us from signing another CF) and then Boniface was Tares candidate but he was overruled behind the scenes and we didn´t sign him either.
If we wanted a reliable striker then Boniface wasnt the right profile. First hes injury prone, second while people tout him as a good player hes had only one season of scoring in double digits (14). So lets not act like we missed out on something big.
Well Let’s see what type of season Boniface has. Considering no CL/Europe, Milan may be able to gloss over not having a proper 9 until the next window. In the meantime, this is literally a lifeline for Gimenez, hopefully he takes advantage.
