Media: Milan pull out after medical, Bayer star’s move off after all | OneFootball

Everything seemed clear between Milan and Leverkusen. Only the medical check stood between Boniface and his new club. However, that's where it appears to have fallen apart: As reported by 'kicker', transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri, and 'Bild', the Serie A club has decided against signing the striker.

The Leverkusen player had already suffered two cruciate ligament tears in his career, and now his right knee has shown abnormalities again during the medical examinations, reports 'kicker'.

Since Boniface had to cut back repeatedly during Bayer's preparation, doubts about his fitness condition have arisen at Milan. And in their search for a new number one striker, the Rossoneri want to leave absolutely nothing to chance.

Only if that reliably fit striker is found, a Boniface transfer could become a topic again, according to 'kicker'. However, this seems unlikely. Simon Rolfes emphasized this to 'Bild'. "If he comes back, the Milan topic will be over. That's no big secret," said Leverkusen's sports boss.
