AC Milan Abandons Pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface
In a surprising turn of events, AC Milan has reportedly decided against signing Bayer Leverkusen's striker Victor Boniface after a medical examination. According to Italian "Gazzetta dello Sport", Boniface traveled to Italy on Friday for the medical assessments, but the deal did not materialise.
The reasons for the fall-through of the transfer remain undisclosed. However, it is known that Milan had reservations about Boniface's health history, given his past ACL injuries. Boniface has had two ACL injuries in his career, which could have raised concerns for the Italian club.
Simon Rolfes, Leverkusen's sporting director, stated that if Boniface returns, the Milan transfer topic will be over. Boniface has been playing for Bayer Leverkusen since the start of the 2023 season, but his chances of regular playing time have diminished with the signing of Christian Kofane.
Last season, Boniface struggled with muscle problems and had to cut short several training sessions in the preseason. This could have also contributed to Milan's decision to abandon the transfer.
Interestingly, after the failed medical examination, West Ham United has decided to pursue the transfer of Bayer Leverkusen's striker. The specific details of this potential move are yet to be disclosed.
Leverkusen has not yet commented on the matter. Rolfes also mentioned that he does not believe there will be any renegotiation of the transfer. The previously agreed loan deal between AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen for Boniface included a loan fee of €5 million and a buyout option of €24 million.
Rolfes also indicated that with Leverkusen usually playing with only one striker, it's already a tight situation. This could mean that Boniface's return to the team could be beneficial for the club, depending on his fitness and form.
This article does not provide information on the specific reasons for the reported fall-through of the transfer or any potential future moves for Victor Boniface. As the situation develops, more details are expected to emerge.
