AC Milan’s potential signing of Victor Boniface has stalled due to concerns over the Nigerian striker’s knee, prompting the Rossoneri to consider alternative targets.
AC Milan’s pursuit of Victor Boniface has encountered a significant obstacle. Despite completing his medical tests ahead of a potential move, concerns have been raised about the striker’s right knee.
According to reports from Italy, the issue was identified during thorough medical examinations, casting doubt over the deal.
The Rossoneri are now faced with a difficult decision. Within the next 24 hours, they’ll determine whether to proceed with the signing or explore alternative options. Milan had reportedly agreed to a €29 million deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Boniface, but the knee concerns may give them leverage to renegotiate the price.
With Boniface’s future uncertain, Milan has turned its attention to other potential targets. Sporting forward Conrad Harder has emerged as a possible option, alongside Rasmus Hojlund, Nicolas Jackson, and Breel Embolo. Hojlund, in particular, seems to be a priority for Milan, with reports suggesting the club is accelerating its pursuit of the Manchester United forward.
The uncertainty surrounding Boniface’s fitness has raised questions about his suitability for the team.
Given Milan’s limited financial capability, it’s unlikely they’ll pursue multiple striker signings. However, Boniface’s representatives remain confident that he’ll join the team, despite the knee concerns.
