Victor Boniface’s highly anticipated move from Bayer Leverkusen to AC Milan has hit an unexpected snag, leaving the 24-year-old Nigerian striker on his way back to Germany. What was supposed to be the final step in completing his switch to Serie A has now been delayed after medical assessments reportedly raised concerns that require further evaluation.

The striker, who has been one of the Bundesliga’s standout performers since his arrival at Leverkusen in 2023, was seen as a perfect fit for AC Milan’s attacking rebuild. With the Rossoneri eager to add firepower and physical presence up front, Boniface was widely expected to become their marquee summer signing. Negotiations between the two clubs had advanced smoothly, with personal terms already agreed, and Milan fans were preparing to welcome their new number nine.

However, during the routine medical examinations in Milan, red flags reportedly emerged, forcing the Italian club to hit pause on the deal. While the exact nature of the concerns has not been disclosed, sources close to the situation suggest they could be related to the striker’s injury record. Boniface missed significant parts of previous campaigns due to knee issues, though he enjoyed a largely fit and productive 2023/24 season at Leverkusen, scoring crucial goals in both domestic and European competitions.

The delay has left all parties in a state of uncertainty. For AC Milan, the stalling of the transfer is a major setback in their summer recruitment plans, especially as they look to close the gap with rivals in Serie A and reestablish their dominance in Europe. For Leverkusen, it means the possibility of welcoming back a key player who had already seemed destined to depart. While fans in Germany will be relieved to see Boniface back, it remains unclear whether his long-term future lies at the BayArena.

Boniface himself is said to be disappointed by the turn of events. The chance to play for one of Italy’s most storied clubs was a dream move, and while the door is not fully closed, the process will now take longer than expected. Both clubs are expected to reassess the situation in the coming days, but for now, the Nigerian forward will rejoin Xabi Alonso’s squad in Leverkusen.

What happens next could define Boniface’s career path—whether he eventually dons the red and black of Milan or continues his journey in the Bundesliga.
