AC Milan have pulled the plug on Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface’s proposed move after he reportedly failed his medicals.
The deal, which was at an advanced stage, was structured as a €5 million loan with a mandatory €24 million buy option. Boniface had already traveled to Milan to finalize the transfer.
However, according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Milan’s medical staff detected an issue with the player’s right knee, forcing the club to abandon the agreement.
“AC Milan call Victor Boniface deal off as Nigerian striker did not pass the medical tests,” Romano wrote on his X handle on Sunday. “Despite verbal agreement for €5m loan fee and €24m buy clause with player in Milano in the last 48h, deal called off due to medical. Boniface returning to Germany today.”
The setback means Boniface will now rejoin Bayer Leverkusen, where he has been a key player since joining from Union Saint-Gilloise in 2023.
