• The Italians want the Nigerian to replace departing Oliver Giroud
• Giroud will leave AC Milan in the summer to join LAFC in the MLS

Victor Boniface could be heading to the Serie A next season as the Super Eagles striker has been identified as a top transfer target for Italian giants, AC Milan.

The 23-year-old forward has been super impressive for incoming Bundesliga champions, Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 16 goals in all competitions for the German club in his first season.

According to Football Italia, Boniface emerged as AC Milan’s preferred option to replace the departing Oliver Giroud in the summer as their primary target Joshua Zirkzee will prove too expensive.

With Giroud set to join LAFC at the end of his contract in June, the Rossoneri are desperate to seal a deal for a new striker within their budget but Bologna could be looking for a €75m sale for Zirkzee.
