Overview

• AC Milan are in advanced negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen for Victor Boniface, with multiple outlets reporting a loan with an option to buy for about €30–32 million and personal terms already agreed.
• Milan have cooled their pursuit of Rasmus Hojlund after failing to align on a permanent move, with Sky Sports reporting the player would reject a loan with only an option to buy.
• Napoli have held talks with Manchester United and Hojlund’s representatives and, after Romelu Lukaku’s injury, are working on a loan formula while also contacting Sassuolo about Andrea Pinamonti.
• An intermediary sent by Milan met Hojlund’s father in London earlier this week to present the Rossoneri’s long‑term plan for the striker.
• Manchester Evening News reports United could accept around £30 million for Hojlund, who was left out of the squad against Arsenal following Benjamin Šeško’s arrival.
