Victor Boniface’s dream transfer to AC Milan has been thrown into uncertainty after medical examinations raised fresh concerns – www.naijnaira.com reports.
According to reports, the Nigerian forward had agreed personal terms with Milan, with Leverkusen sanctioning a loan deal that included an option to buy.
The 24-year-old arrived in Italy on Friday afternoon, landing at Linate Airport before heading straight for routine health checks.
What seemed like a straightforward process quickly shifted when Milan doctors ordered extra tests at the Galeazzi Hospital, bringing in their trusted orthopedic specialist.
Boniface completed three different rounds of examinations yesterday, but the final verdict was delayed as Milan pushed for one more round this morning.
Concerns stem from his injury history, including two groin issues in Germany and two cruciate ligament tears earlier in his career.
Reports say the club is determined to avoid risk given his past medical record, even though the striker played a key role for Leverkusen last season.
“Medical checks must be thorough when a player has such a background,” a source close to the process revealed.
A green light will confirm his Milan move, while a setback sends him back to Leverkusen.
