VICTOR Boniface has returned to Germany after having his medical at AC Milan, with the Serie A club reportedly opting out of a proposed move for the striker.
The Super Eagles star spent 48 hours in Milan to take medical tests, with the Italian giants looking to sign him on a loan deal with an option to buy from Bayer Leverkusen.
However, in unusual circumstances, Boniface returned to Germany today, with no deal agreed between AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen.
According to Gianlucadimarzio.com, Milan will decide later today whether or not to sign the 24-year-old Nigeria international, or to switch to other options.
Boniface underwent particularly thorough checks and tests due to his less than optimal physical condition and, for this reason, AC Milan are evaluating whether or not to complete the transfer, the outlet added.
There are even reports that Boniface, who has had serious injuries in recent years, outrightly failed the medical, and Milan would confirm later on Sunday that they are withdrawing their interest.
AC Milan director Igli Tare had said on Saturday: “We are checking Victor Boniface medical. His football skills are excellent but we need to take the right decision.
“We will make final decision soon on his medical also with our coach Max Allegri.”
Boniface was set to join Milan for a €5m loan fee, with the buy option set at €24m.
