Victor Boniface’s move to AC Milan hangs in the balance, amid doubts about his knee, and the loan fee could be renegotiated with Bayer Leverkusen as a result.
Boniface’s (potential) move to Milan has caused quite the stir in the media. Understandably so, as the striker underwent additional medical tests earlier today, with the Rossoneri looking to get a better understanding of his right knee (due to a previous ACL tear).
Igli Tare and his colleagues are yet to make a decision on the Nigerian international, and they might not do so until Monday, but there’s also another possibility. According to Gazzetta dello Sport and Daniele Longo, the terms could be renegotiated.
New terms on the cards?
Milan and Leverkusen reached an agreement for a €5m loan with an option to buy at €24m a few days ago. However, given the new information the Rossoneri have about Boniface’s knee, €5m is a rather high fee that could be spent on someone else.
As such, according to the aforementioned sources, it’s possible that the clubs could lower the loan fee quite a lot or even remove it completely. The salary would still have to be paid, so he there will be a cost, but at least it would be reduced a lot.
Milan are also keeping their eyes on some other targets, including Dusan Vlahovic, while negotiations for Sporting Lisbon’s Conrad Harder are unrelated to Boniface.
