As per SportBILD, Chelsea have pinpointed the 23-year-old as a primary target to enhance their forward lineup. Boniface has shone brightly for Bayer Leverkusen this season, amassing 10 goals and seven assists in 16 Bundesliga matches, along with four goals and one assist in five Europa League appearances.
Nevertheless, Leverkusen has demonstrated no willingness to entertain offers for Boniface, particularly given his significance to their team. The German outfit values the 23-year-old striker at €40 million (£34m/$43.28m), considering him a cornerstone of their future endeavours. Furthermore, with Boniface under contract until 2028, Leverkusen possess a strong bargaining position, necessitating Chelsea to present a substantial financial package to secure his services.
Chelsea are also monitoring Flamengo forward Pedro closely. However, despite the London club’s potential interest in acquiring the Brazilian striker, Pedro has encountered disapproval from his own club’s supporters.
According to a report from O Dia, Pedro’s recent performance against Boa Vista did little to placate the disgruntled fans. Despite scoring a goal, Pedro faced jeers from the crowd when substituted, having missed several scoring opportunities in the first half and failing to convert a penalty, compounding the frustration among Flamengo supporters.
While rumors of Chelsea’s interest in Pedro have emerged, both the player’s representatives and Flamengo have denied any knowledge of such inquiries. Nonetheless, O Dia insists that Chelsea are indeed eyeing the promising striker. Whether this interest culminates in a formal bid remains uncertain, although Chelsea’s priorities reportedly include Napoli’s Victor Osimhen or Ivan Toney of Brentford.
