Victor Boniface continues to shine for Bayer Leverkusen, as Juventus, Milan and Napoli battle for his €40m signature next summer.

The Nigeria international will turn 23 on Saturday and is having a remarkable campaign in Germany, scoring 15 goals in 22 competitive games, along with eight assists.

That includes four goals in just five Europa League matches.

He was purchased from Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise in July for €20.5m and his price-tag has already comfortably doubled in just six months.

The Corriere di Torino suggests that Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli is working on a swoop for next summer at circa €40m.

Meanwhile, Tuttomercatoweb insist that Napoli see Boniface as the ideal heir to his fellow Nigerian Victor Osimhen, should someone pay the €140m release clause for the Capocannoniere.

Milan have long been linked with both Boniface and LOSC striker Jonathan David to bolster their attack next season, with Olivier Giroud approaching retirement age.
