Nigerian forward Victor Boniface has returned to Bayer Leverkusen after a proposed transfer to AC Milan was unexpectedly terminated due to issues that emerged during his medical assessment.
The 24-year-old striker, a pivotal figure in Leverkusen's Bundesliga championship-winning campaign last season, was on the verge of completing a high-profile move to the Italian Serie A side. However, the deal was halted after medical officials at AC Milan identified unspecified concerns during his routine examination.
While the precise nature of the medical issue has not been made public, the discovery was significant enough for the Italian club to suspend negotiations entirely. This development forces Boniface back to his current club, where he remains a key part of the squad under new head coach Eric Ten Hag.
The transfer's collapse is a notable setback for a player viewed as one of the most promising attackers in the Bundesliga. Boniface's physical prowess and goal-scoring ability had made him a primary target for AC Milan as they sought to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
As of now, neither Bayer Leverkusen nor AC Milan have issued an official comment on the failed transfer. Boniface is now expected to rejoin his Leverkusen teammates as they prepare for their upcoming league match.
With the summer transfer window still open, it is unclear if other clubs will pursue a move for the player following this medical setback. For the immediate future, his focus will be on integrating back into the squad in Germany.
