The 22-year-old emerged joint topscorer in the Europa League alongside Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford with six goals, reaching the last eight.

The Super Eagles potential invitee joined Union Saint-Gilloise from Norwegian side Bodo Glimt last summer in a club record deal of €2m and has not failed to disappoint.

Milan are keen on signing the striker for a fee within the region of €10-€15m if their bid for French forward Marcus Thuram does not materialize.

The reports in Italy about Boniface

According to Italian news media outlet Sempermilan.it as reported by Punch, the reports stated:

“With the negotiation that could be complex for the French forward, Milan could direct their attention towards another striker.

“The name would be that of Victor Boniface, tip of the Union Saint-Gilloise much appreciated by Geoffrey Moncada. The valuation would not be very high and could be within the reach of Milan’s transfer market budget. We are talking about €10m to €15m.”

Boniface has also been linked to join compatriot Victor Osimhen if he remains at Napoli beyond this summer.

Other teams interested in the Nigerian striker include Serie A side Lazio and Champions League bound Bundesliga team RB Leipzig.
