According to the report, Milan is also considering signing another striker regardless of their decision on Boniface, given that the 24-year-old will likely miss a month of action in January due to the Africa Cup of Nations.

At the same time, they have also decided that Santiago Gimenez won’t leave San Siro despite recent reports of a possible exit over the last few days.
