Boniface’s AC Milan Debut Likely Delayed Until Lecce Clash

AC Milan fans eager to see new signing Victor Boniface in action will have to wait a little longer.

Although the powerful Nigerian striker’s transfer from Bayer Leverkusen is nearly finalized, a combination of administrative formalities and fitness considerations means he’s unlikely to feature in Milan’s opening league match against Cremonese.

Head coach Massimiliano Allegri, known for his calculated approach, is opting for caution.

With medicals and paperwork still underway, and Boniface needing time to adapt to the squad and absorb tactical instructions, Milan is prioritizing full readiness over a rushed debut.

The club is eyeing the following week’s fixture against Lecce as a more realistic opportunity for Boniface to make his first appearance in the Rossoneri shirt.

By then, he’ll have had time to train with his teammates and settle into the rhythm of the team—setting the stage for a confident and impactful introduction.
