Boniface joined Leverkusen in the summer of 2023 and played a pivotal role in helping Xabi Alonso’s side win the Bundesliga title.
However, with new manager Erik ten Hag now in charge, the Nigerian’s place in the squad appears uncertain.
The potential transfer would strengthen Milan’s attacking options and reunite Boniface with Chukwueze, who joined the Rossoneri in 2023.
This summer window is expected to prove decisive in sealing a deal with talks already initiated, and Boniface open to the switch.
