"Boniface's transfer to Milan was declined due to underlying health issues"
In a surprising turn of events, the potential move of Nigerian striker Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen to Italian club Milan has been called off. The transfer, which was seen as one of the major transfers of the summer, fell through after a failed medical, despite a previous verbal agreement to loan Boniface for 5 million euros with an option to buy for 24 million euros.
According to respected journalist Fabrizio Romano, Boniface is set to return to Germany today. The striker has been a key player for Leverkusen since his arrival in summer 2023, and his contract with the club runs until 2028. His market value, according to Transfermarkt, stands at 40 million euros.
Meanwhile, another significant transfer has taken place in the football world. Striker Okafor has joined Lиdсs Юнаĭтед from Milan. The debut of teenager Doomen was the main event in the Arsenal - Lиdсs (5:0) match.
On the other side of the field, Supercomputer Opta predicts that Real Madrid is the clear favourite in their upcoming match against Oviedo.
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported on Boniface's return to Germany, adding to the growing interest in the cancelled transfer. Despite the setback, Leverkusen fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their key player will remain with the club for the foreseeable future.
