It seemed like AC Milan would sign Victor Boniface this summer. However, the Nigerian failed his medical, and another route was taken.
A signing like Boniface is a big one for Milan, someone who has scored goals in a top league consistently, available within the parameters often stuck to by the Rossoneri. However, an opportunity like that is not without a caveat.

In this case, the issues were with a long-term issue with the striker’s knee, which has flared up again this summer, per reports. So, the Diavolo opted to go elsewhere, leaving Boniface to return to Germany.
Brutally honests Boniface
A few things have been said about the move, and the striker even responded to a few critics the other day, who questioned whether he was ‘serious’. Recently, he has spoken ‘without filter’ on his Twitch channel about the move and why it did not occur, and Alfredo Pedulla has relayed his comments.
“At a certain point, I gave up. When others were playing football, I was just working to get back into it. After my second anterior cruciate ligament injury, I didn’t even want to play anymore because of the pain from the first and what I went through with the second.
“During that time, I also lost my mother. AC Milan? The transfer didn’t work out because of my past injuries. I’ve had two right knee injuries, and it’s something I’ve been dealing with for a long time.”
I feel so bad for him. It’s sad to see him suffer. A beast. Could’ve been among the best strikers in the world.
The injuries he got are recurring, he needs some kind of unique training and diet to stop it from happening again. Players have done it but Boniface has to do it.
Is it the same or worse injury than brazilian ronaldo’s? Because Ronaldo’s keep playing till 35s
And he could barely run. So what’s your point?
He wanted to be fit and took it over his limit with personalised training. That shows determined mind.
Had Bayern04 accepted a reviewed low cost he could have become a “Rossonero”. It’s a dream of his to become one though I believe with proper rotational management, he will become another G.Weah.
Love you lad, do not give up… Keep improving.
Given milan have one of the worst records for muscle injuries… I’m glad he dodged this bullet.
rehab is the hardest job in sports
Sorry to hear that. Hope it works out for him in the end. If I was him I’d go to the best clinic on the planet and find the best doctors and personal trainers to help me. Whatever it costs.
I love that he’s wearing a Seahawks’ Metcalf jersey in the photo. So random. hahaha
