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

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.

He is valued around €40m by Transfermarkt.
