Chelsea are gearing up for a major summer move to land Bayer Leverkusen’s prolific striker Victor Boniface, with reports suggesting the London club is prepared to spend €70m on the Nigerian forward.
Enzo Maresca is eager to bolster his attack, identifying Boniface as a key target to provide competition for Nicolas Jackson. Chelsea’s inconsistent form has put their Champions League hopes in jeopardy, making squad reinforcements a top priority.
Boniface was instrumental in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga triumph last season, netting 14 league goals in 24 appearances. Despite injury setbacks this term, the 24-year-old has still managed to notch seven goals in 12 Bundesliga matches.
According to reports from Spain, Chelsea’s admiration for the striker has grown, and Leverkusen could be tempted to sell if a significant offer arrives. While Boniface’s form has dipped slightly, he remains a player in high demand, with the Blues considering him their top striker target.
With Leverkusen eyeing a potential sale at the right price, Chelsea’s willingness to break the bank could set up a high-stakes summer transfer battle.
