Overview

• Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes said the move is off and confirmed Boniface will return to the club.
• Milan withdrew after four medical tests reportedly raised concerns about the striker’s right knee following two ACL ruptures and recent muscle issues.
• The clubs had agreed a season-long loan worth about €5 million with a €24 million purchase option before the reversal.
• Boniface faces limited minutes at Leverkusen, with Patrik Schick preferred up front and new signing Christian Kofane further reducing his role.
• The setback follows a previously reported failed transfer to Al-Nassr earlier this year that had been discussed at around €70 million.
