The striker is likely to arrive in Milan tomorrow. He has suffered many injuries during his career: he was even transferred to Saudi Arabia, but the deal fell through due to medical issues

Victor Boniface has a long history of injuries: he suffered a double cruciate ligament rupture before experiencing muscle problems, which may or may not have been a consequence of the injury. His physique is fragile, as the numbers show: he missed 34 games in 2018-19, the year of his first injury in Norway with Bodoe Glimt. He missed 56 games in 2020-21, his second serious injury. His adventure at Leverkusen began with a long layoff due to adductor problems: 23 games missed. Then came a series of minor and moderate injuries, which is why the Germans have now agreed to a loan deal with an option to buy. And Milan? Boniface will arrive on a loan deal worth €5 million with an option to buy for €24 million next summer.

Or to some inevitable doubts about his physical condition? The Rossoneri staff will certainly want to get to the bottom of it. At the moment, it does not appear that Boniface has undergone any further medical tests away from Milan, as was the case with Pubill. The Almeria full-back, who was later bought by Atletico Madrid, was examined in Barcelona in the presence of the Rossoneri doctors. The results were positive: the decision not to proceed was purely technical. If those in Milan were the striker’s first visits, the club could be taking a risk. There is, in fact, a recent precedent: in recent weeks, Boniface was sold to the Saudi League, and the halt to the transfer to Arabia seems to be linked to medical issues. At least, that is what some Arab media outlets reported. In any case, Boniface returned to Germany and is now headed to Milan simply because he was unable to find a home in the Middle East. But there is an obstacle to overcome before his Rossoneri adventure can begin. Even before it starts…
