AC Milan have made a big attempt for Victor Boniface this week, but now their chances may be dead in the water.
Everything seemed to be done with a move for Boniface; the clubs had an agreement, as did the player. However, Milan wanted to proceed with caution and asked for an extended medical test, which was completed on Saturday.

This morning, it was reported that the Nigerian was heading back to Germany, with some reports even stating that the deal was off. This was later solidified with Calciomercato.com reporting that the deal could not be done at the current price.
Deal nearly dead
In the past few minutes, Simon Rolfes, the Bayer Leverkusen sporting director, has spoken about the deal and offered a ‘now or never’-like proposal to the Rossoneri, as Fabrizio Romano relays from BILD on his X account.
“If Boniface comes back to Leverkusen, the AC Milan deal will be over. That’s no big secret. Renegotiating the deal? I don’t think that will happen. His physical situation has improved compared to the beginning.”
If there are doubts about the deal, and there is no chance of the price changing, it may just be better to look at other options.
Leverkusen knows Milan is playing games. Boniface was Tares deal, but the rest of the management doesn´t agree and Allegri isn´t too pleased either. There´s nothing too serious with Bonifaces condition, it more politics that´s holding the deal back. It will be on Tares head if he signs Bonifaces and he fails and on Allegris head if they sign Vlahovic and he fails. If all turns out well than 1 of those 2 will be a hero.
Yes, they have actually made it all up so I can be right. Allegri told me. Trust me bro.
You think it´s the first time political games are played in the world of football? Maybe Tare was convinced that we would sign Boniface, but it´s not his final decission to be made. Others intervened. I don´t think the Milan management is on the same line, but it seems they´re all bound by the budgetary limits set by the owners.
You are making up conspiracies while saying Milan knew all the info before medical checks. How could I even try to take you seriously? It is impossible.
His history of injuries is a major concern. He’s just so prone to missing games. When healthy hes great. But thats a major risk.
Compiled from Google Gemini.
Two cruciate ligament (ACL) tears: These occurred during his time with Bodø/Glimt, one in 2018-19 and another in 2020-21.
Muscular injuries: He has had recurring muscle issues, including a serious adductor problem that sidelined him for three months in January 2024. He also had a thigh injury in November 2024 that kept him out for over two months.
Other injuries/absences at Bayer Leverkusen:
Thigh Injury (May 2025)
Illness (May 2025)
Hand Injury (October 2024)
Groin Injury: He also had a groin injury from January to April 2024.
The had all that injury information BEFORE they had agreed the conditions with Leverkusen.
No they hadn´t on the damage that allegedly was done by his personal training this summer.
There is no smoke without fire,if there knew he had all this injuries why then waste time and effort bringing him down here it’s really ridiculous I don’t fancy this one bit.

LOL. We’ve got a Deepthroat here 😀 😀 😀 😀
Have a good career!! Bye bye! I am really happy Milan dodged this bullet.
Your embarassing, probably just another Giminez d!c rider. Well se what the striker situation is going to be like now, this was our only chance to get a decent striker, now we’re toast.
Are you 7 years old? If you are older than that it is embarrassing how st*pid you are.
Dodging the bullet but setting the head for missiles. Already lost a home game to Cremonense
What happened? Was it the TEETH??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Embarassing to say the least. We KNEW about his past injuries no secret. Why waste time on this player then? So many other strikers off the board and now we are left with very few. I would have favored moving forward with the transfer as it was a low risk (loan 5M with NO obligation) high reward scenario IF he stays healthy. AND still go and get another striker (Vlahovic). BUT I guess we passed. So now we have Vlahovic as the only choice. Watch Boniface score 20 goals for Bayern this year and get sold for 50M in summer LOL.
I don’t understand our aversion to the striker position. The most important position on the pitch and we always WAIT till the last minute of the window to get someone. Makes no sense. That’s one position you should not be looking for bargains.
AND – We STILL NEED a CB as we all saw from yesterday’s game.
Just get Vlahovic at this point and quit fkn around trying to save a few dollars. Beggars can’t be choosers at this point when the season has already started and we are already down a game.
top tier bro!!! we remember dzeko lol
ALWAYS so much unnecessary DRAMA around every fkn transfer.
Serious clubs don’t operate this way – they identify a player reasonably negotiate or just pay the buy out clause and it’s done
Redbird /Furlani always always always creating drama – they must own all the Italian newspapers and need to make some ad revenue lol
Terrible
