The 24-year-old underwent medical tests with the Rossoneri on Friday and Saturday, but the condition of his right knee, injured in 2019 and 2020, convinced the Serie A giants to take time before putting him under contract.

Furthermore, Boniface missed several games last season due to muscle problems.

According to Gazzetta, it is increasingly likely that Milan will abandon negotiations, although a decision has yet to be taken, and Milan could even end up signing Boniface and another centre-forward in the final days of the summer transfer window, as Sky Sport Italia already reported on Saturday.

In the meantime, Milan had a terrible start to the new Serie A campaign, losing 2-1 at home against Cremonese last night.

“There were no extra medicals,” Tare said on Saturday.

“We knew that he had problems in the past, we are evaluating everything as planned with regards to the health and fitness of the player.

“His qualities are undoubted. We are just trying to make the right decision for this situation.”
