Juventus eye Boniface as replacement for Vlahovic

Serie A giants Juventus have reportedly identified Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface as a replacement for Serbian forward Dusan Vlahovic.

The Bianconeri have been trying to negotiate a new deal with Vlahovic in recent weeks.

Talks with Vlahovic’s entourage have, however, moved slowly, and he may not be willing to accept a lower salary in a new long-term contract.

#Juventus have set their sights on Victor #Boniface. The Bayer Leverusen striker is surprising everyone, having scored 14 goals in 20 games so far. Juve would go all in for the Nigerian born in 2000 only if they sell #Vlahovic.

The 22-year-old has scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in 21 appearances across all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen this season.

He is valued around €40m by Transfermarkt.
