Victor Boniface breaks silence after failed AC Milan transfer

Super Eagles star Victor Boniface gas finally spoken up after his failed move to AC Milan…

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has maintained that he remains confident in his abilities despite his failed transfer to Serie A giants AC Milan, Soccernet.ng reports.

Boniface's move to AC Milan has gained a lot of traction over the last four days.

Last Wednesday, news broke that Boniface was closing in on a transfer to AC Milan. As of Thursday, it looked like the deal was set, and conversations about his potential jersey number had even started.

However, the controversy started after reports emerged on Saturday that AC Milan wanted to call off the deal due to Boniface's bad injury history.

For context, at just 24 years of age, the Super Eagles star has suffered two anterior cruciate ligament injuries － an injury that most athletes dread due to the recovery time and the possibility of never reaching their previous best.

The uncertainty surrounding his transfer dragged on until Sunday afternoon, when it was confirmed that AC Milan had pulled out of the deal.

Boniface's issue has caused a big controversy, especially among some Nigerian fans, who have been highly critical about his online antics.

However, amid all the madness, Boniface seems to be calm. But this was after an outburst on social media, where he called out Nigerian fans who wrongly criticized him for being unprofessional and unserious with his career.

After the issue with Fabrizio Romano, Victor Boniface, who is known to be a jovial character on social media, responded to some fans on Snapchat.

He affirmed that he is confident in his abilities, and stated that the setback will not bring him down.
