Milan Close to Sporting CP Talent After Boniface U-Turn | OneFootball

Milan didn’t like what they saw in the medicals of Victor Boniface and decided to call off the signing and have been focusing their efforts on Conrad Harder since then. They are nearing an agreement with Sporting CP for about €27M, add-ons included, La Repubblica reports.

The entourage of the striker wants to see the deal through in a hurry since he has other offers, especially from Rennes. He’d make €1.5M annually if he headed to San Siro. The 20-year-old broke out at Nordsjælland and moved to Portugal for €19M in 2024. He has totaled 12 goals and 7 assists in 51 matches with his current team. He debuted with Denmark in March.

Milan zeroed in on Harder following a transfer market-centered meeting with Massimiliano Allegri after the debacle versus Cremonese. The coach insisted that he wanted another striker and wouldn’t mind a defender and a midfielder. He’s keen on signing Adrien Rabiot, but they need to sell Yunus Musah first. Moreover, the Frenchman is starting to mend fences with Olympique Marseille.

The Rossoneri will keep chasing Dusan Vlahovic, the boss’ favorite option, until deadline day. On the other hand, he has to lower his request to join them, Tuttomercatoweb reports. Juventus demand about €20M not to record a loss. They have recently reached out to the agent of Alexis Saelemaekers.

Our Take on Milan and Harder

Boniface’s knee must really be in rough shape if they couldn’t even sign off on a loan. The Danish youngster makes sense only if they sign two new center-forwards; otherwise, it’d be a lateral move just to do something. They need readymade champions to lift the squad. Kudos to them if they convince Vlahovic to reduce his salary.
