Victor Boniface could be on his way to the Premier League this summer.
Newcastle United are reportedly planning a £40 million move for the Bayer Leverkusen man, owing to the uncertainty surrounding Callum Wilson’s future at the club.
The season has been historic for Newcastle, celebrating their first major trophy in 70 years, and they currently sit third in the Premier League, with two crucial matches left to secure a coveted Champions League spot.
According to German outlet BILD, Newcastle are now actively engaging in discussions to secure Boniface. The proposed fee of £40 million reflects the club’s ambition to invest in quality talent this summer.
Boniface’s addition could significantly enhance Newcastle’s attacking prowess. However, questions arise about whether he would be willing to play a secondary role behind Alexander Isak, the team’s first-choice striker when healthy.
With the added demands of European competition next season, the Magpies will need a squad capable of managing increased fixture congestion.
Despite struggling with injuries, Boniface has managed 11 goals across all competitions, and when healthy, he is guaranteed to find the back of the net more frequently.
