Super Eagles Victor Boniface’s reported move to AC Milan has been called off due to failed medical tests.
The proposed deal, which had advanced significantly,
included a verbal agreement for an initial €5 million loan with a mandatory €24
million buy clause.
Boniface had even traveled to Milan in Italy to finalize the
transfer.
However, according to a report from renowned Italian
transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, the agreement collapsed after club medical
staff identified a problem with the player’s right knee.
“AC Milan call Victor Boniface deal off as Nigerian striker
did not pass the medical tests,” Fabrizio 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.”

With the transfer now off, Boniface is set to return to his
current club Bayer Leverkusen.
The failed medical represents a significant setback for AC
Milan’s transfer plans, forcing the Serie A side to pursue other targets to
bolster their attacking options.
Despite the club-level setback, Boniface’s international duties remain unaffected. The striker has been included in coach Eric Chelle’s 31-man squad for Nigeria’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa.
