AC Milan have been forced to order additional tests for Victor Boniface, as the usual medical tests didn’t provide them with enough guarantees, according to Matteo Moretto.
Boniface arrived in Milan yesterday and immediately began the medical tests at La Madonnina clinic, followed by athletic tests at another clinic. Those are the usual proceedings for a new signing, but it didn’t end there for the striker as he also underwent orthopaedic tests.
So, after reaching an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen over a €5m paid loan and a €24m buy-out clause, can the deal be considered done? Not yet, unfortunately. According to Matteo Moretto on YouTube, Milan have ordered ‘in-depth tests’ to be carried out today.
Doubts arise for Milan
Indeed, as explained by the journalist, the initial medical tests (despite the additional orthopaedic tests) were insufficient and didn’t provide the Rossoneri with the guarantees they wanted. As things stand, therefore, the deal could go either way.
“Yesterday, Boniface arrived in Milan at 3 pm. He went to the La Madonnina clinic, where he underwent a first series of medical tests. Then, he did the athletic tests as well as additional orthopaedic tests. Everything ended around 10 pm yesterday.
“Despite this process, Milan haven’t decided whether to proceed or not. There are doubts about Boniface’s physical condition. Milan want to see things clearly and will further investigate the situation
“Today, Saturday, Boniface will undergo further, even more in-depth tests before deciding whether or not to proceed. However, this first series of medical tests, which lasted from 3:45pm on Friday until 9/10pm, certainly didn’t provide the guarantees that Milan expected.
“We will see if there will be any positive news today and if we can get to the point of signing the contract. I reiterate that this is a matter closely linked to the passing the medical tests: today, Saturday 23 August, an absolutely key day.”
