Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has returned to Germany amid growing uncertainty over his proposed move to AC Milan from Bayer Leverkusen.
The Serie A club had reached an agreement to sign the 24-year-old on a season-long loan, with an option to make the deal permanent.
However, concerns over Boniface’s fitness have stalled progress, prompting Milan to delay finalizing the transfer.
Boniface underwent a series of medical evaluations in Milan, where lingering issues from past injuries raised red flags.
The forward has previously undergone two surgeries and struggled with recurring muscle problems during the 2024 season, limiting his appearances for Leverkusen.
Sources close to the club, including Gazzetta dello Sport, suggest that Milan may ultimately abandon the deal due to the medical concerns.
The final decision is expected in the coming days as Milan continues to assess the risks involved.
Boniface’s return to Germany signals a pause in negotiations, leaving his future uncertain as the summer transfer window nears its close.
