It was gathered that the Rossoneri had already agreed on a €5 million loan fee with an option to buy for €24 million.
Boniface had arrived in Milan, hoping to finalise the switch, but the medical verdict forced the club to walk away, per Milan Reports.
The Nigerian striker, who suffered a knee injury during an international break, underwent rigorous examinations, but concerns over his recovery timeline prompted Milan to halt the deal.
The 24-year-old expressed heartbreak as the collapsed move dashed his hopes of joining the Italian giants, leaving him to focus on regaining full fitness with Leverkusen.
He appeared on TikTok again and joined the live stream of a random user, who owns a startup business.
Surprised by the number of people joining her live session, the entrepreneur kept asking:
"I think you a very popular person. Please guys do you know this person? I want to talk about my brand. You are a popular person. I own a clothing brand."
After the conversation, the user shared a screenshot of a bank transaction showing she had received NGN200,000 from the footballer.
Boniface responds to critics
Meanwhile, fans were stunned by the player's failed AC Milan transfer, but some female critics on social media intensified the scrutiny, mocking the 24-year-old.
One claimed he lacked professionalism, prioritising social media over football. The striker responded to her comments, saying:
"I saw your wig, shame catch me for you."
Boniface's response has left fans with mixed reactions, with many suggesting he should have ignored the remarks.
Other users took to the comment section of the live session to react. Mubarak M said:
"You’re really smart for taking advantage of this opportunity to market your brand."
