Boniface Transfer to Milan Hits Snag Amid Knee Concerns

Football & Cricket

AC Milan`s potential transfer for Victor Boniface has reportedly stalled. Although the striker underwent medical examinations yesterday, Italian sources indicate that concerns regarding his right knee have emerged. This development is leading the Rossoneri to either seek a reduced price from Leverkusen or explore other transfer targets.

As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, a specific issue with Boniface`s knee was discovered during the detailed medical checks. Milan is expected to make a decision within the next 24 hours regarding whether to proceed with the acquisition of the Nigerian international.

Gazzetta further suggests that Milan is now looking at other striking options, including Sporting`s Conrad Harder. Other names mentioned as potential alternatives are Rasmus Hojlund, Nicolas Jackson, and Breel Embolo.

Despite the current setback, a move for Boniface to Milan is still possible, though questions about his long-term fitness persist. While some reports hint at Milan potentially signing two strikers, this seems improbable given the club`s financial constraints.

The focus remains on the Nigerian forward`s situation. Milan`s options include negotiating a lower fee for the rumored loan-with-option from Leverkusen or completely withdrawing from the deal.
