AC Milan`s acquisition of Victor Boniface has hit a roadblock following medical examinations that revealed concerns about the striker`s right knee. This development has prompted the Italian club to reassess their options and potentially seek a reduced transfer fee from Bayer Leverkusen.
Reports from Italian media suggest that Milan will make a final decision within the next 24 hours regarding whether to proceed with the transfer of the Nigerian forward. The club is now exploring alternative options, including Sporting CP`s Conrad Harder, Manchester United`s Rasmus Hojlund, Chelsea`s Nicolas Jackson, and Monaco`s Breel Embolo.
While it`s likely that Boniface will still join Milan, questions about his fitness have arisen. There are indications that the Rossoneri might consider signing two strikers, though this seems improbable given the club`s current financial constraints.
The situation remains fluid, with Milan potentially negotiating a lower fee for Boniface`s reported loan-with-option deal from Leverkusen. Alternatively, they may decide to abandon the pursuit altogether and focus on other targets.
As negotiations continue, all eyes are on the Nigerian forward and Milan`s next move in the transfer market. The coming days will be crucial in determining the outcome of this potential deal and Milan`s striker situation for the upcoming season.
