In the latest transfer buzz, two Serie A titans are vying with Juventus for an in-form Bundesliga sensation.

The spotlight is on Victor Boniface, the Nigerian striker making waves at Bayer Leverkusen this European season, shining brightly under the guidance of Xabi Alonso in Germany. Despite his recent move to Leverkusen during the last transfer window, Boniface has swiftly adapted to the new league’s demands.

Juventus, eyeing him as a potential successor to Dusan Vlahovic, has closely monitored Boniface due to his impressive performances. Their strategy involves a potential sale of the Serbian striker in the upcoming summer, paving the way for Boniface to step in as his replacement, if all goes according to plan.

Nevertheless, Football Italia’s reports indicate a competitive pursuit for Boniface, with both AC Milan and Napoli vying for his signature. These Serie A rivals perceive him as a valuable asset for their squads, with Napoli considering him a potential replacement for Victor Osimhen. The growing interest in Boniface has complicated Juventus’ transfer strategy.

Juve FC’s Take

“Boniface will play for a bigger club soon, which could be at the start of next season. If we are serious about adding him to our group, now is a good time to start working on the deal. If we delay, more clubs will join the race and convince him to join them when this term finishes.”
