The agreement is one step away, Victor Boniface‘s agent is coming to Milan for the last details, but the arrival of Bayer Leverkusen’s striker is not yet taken for granted by the Rossoneri fans. The Nigerian center forward, author of 14 goals in 23 Bundesliga matches last season, represents a profile that Pioli has been asking for for months, a physical and technical player capable of guaranteeing goals and presence in the area.
However, the numerous injuries that have plagued Boniface’s career raise more than a few doubts among the Milanese supporters. The last one,a serious knee injury suffered during the africa Cup of Nations,kept him out for several months and casts a long shadow over his future. “A great player, there’s no doubt whatsoever, but the unknown on health is enormous,” writes a user on social media, echoing the concerns of many fans. “We can’t afford to take another risk with a fragile player.”
Milan’s medical staff is carefully evaluating all the reports and will subject Boniface to thorough tests before giving the green light to the transfer. The Rossoneri management, aware of the risks, is also considering choice options, but for now, Boniface remains the primary target for the attack. the next few days will be decisive to understand if the deal will go through or if Milan will have to change their plans.Boniface was out for 75 days with an injury, played 19 games, and scored 8 goals. The issue is simply this, but it’s a important one. Another comment echoed this concern: “No player with a double cruciate ligament injury in their history returns – or arrives – at very high levels.”
