Super Eagles forward, Victor Boniface, is unmoved over his failed transfer to Italian giants, AC Milan.
The Nigerian was expected to team up with Rossoneri in the summer transfer window. The move failed owing to medical issues with the Super Eagle, fueling speculations over his fitness.
However, the 24-year-old has downplayed the failed move during his unveiling at Werder Bremen whom he joined on loan from Bayer Leverkusen.
“Whatever you want to believe in the media, you can believe them, that’s not on me… I don’t care. If my body is not 100%, I will be in the hospital. I will not be here talking to you,” he said during his unveiling.
“It wasn’t my fault; they decided not to pursue it. I have a strong mentality: it happens, it’s okay, I’ll move on,” the striker said.

The Nigerian teamed up with Leverkusen from Union Saint-Gilloise. He later won the league unbeaten in 2024 as Xabi Alonso’s men won a historic domestic double that year.
He was left out of the Super Eagles’s team for the double-header 2026 World Cup qualification games against Rwanda and Bafana Bafana of South Africa.
