Bayer Leverkusen, Boniface: “Milan move off due to my past injuries” | OneFootball

The market negotiation between Milan and Victor Boniface failed a few days ago, when the deal seemed to be on the verge of closing. The Rossoneri had subjected the player to further medical tests before deciding to avoid the operation, despite a general agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for the transfer of the attacker to Milan.

Bayer Leverkusen, Boniface: “Milan? Everything failed due to my past injuries”

The Nigerian, born in 2000, has had to deal with several injuries in his career. In particular, with two cruciate ligament ruptures in his right knee. A situation that did not fully convince the Devil.

Victor Boniface revealed the real reasons behind his failed transfer to Milan. The Nigerian striker, protagonist of a negotiation that had excited the Rossoneri fans, spoke openly during a live stream on Twitch, confirming that his physical condition played a decisive role in the choice of the Milan management not to proceed with the purchase.

The admission: knee injuries stopped everything

"The transfer to Milan did not go through due to my past injuries. I suffered two serious injuries to my right knee. After the second, I didn't even want to play anymore because of the pain and everything I had to face," Boniface explained. The striker told how the long rehabilitation affected his emotional state: "When the others were on the field, I spent my days working to return. It was a difficult period, also because I lost my mother during that time."

The negotiation with Milan: what happened

Boniface had already undergone part of the medical visits in Milan, obtaining the clearance at 'La Madonnina', before proceeding with further tests at the Galeazzi. However, after a few days, the Rossoneri company decided to interrupt the negotiation and the player returned to Germany.

A vanished dream, but not a finished career

Despite the failed operation, Boniface remains a high-level profile and will continue his career in the Bundesliga, where in recent years he has stood out for his physical strength and scoring ability. His sincerity about what happened opens a window onto the more human side of football, which is not just about million-dollar transfers but also about physical fragility and difficult moments.
