AC Milan have cancelled Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface’s proposed transfer after the Nigerian failed his medicals in Italy.
The deal, which had reached an advanced stage, was structured as a €5 million loan with a mandatory €24 million buy option. Boniface had already travelled to Milan to complete the move.
However, Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that the agreement collapsed after Milan’s medical team discovered an issue with the forward’s right knee.
“AC Milan call Victor Boniface deal off as Nigerian striker did not pass the medical tests,” Romano posted 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 in Germany today.”
The development means Boniface will now return to Bayer Leverkusen, where he has been a key part of the squad since joining in 2023.
