Overview

  • Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan have a loan deal in principle that remains conditional on medical clearance.
  • Boniface arrived in Milan on Friday for examinations at La Madonnina, the Centro Ambrosiano and Galeazzi, with a fourth assessment by a club-trusted orthopedist scheduled Saturday to evaluate his right knee.
  • Gazzetta and multiple outlets report a €1 million loan fee with a €24 million option to buy, while BILD cites a €5 million loan fee, and reports consistently describe an option rather than an obligation.
  • Milan is closely reviewing the striker’s fitness because he has not played since mid-April and has a history of two ACL injuries and a lengthy adductor layoff.
  • The 24-year-old is contracted to Leverkusen until 2028, has seen limited starts in 2025 behind Patrik Schick, and a previously agreed January move to Al-Nassr fell through.
