Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface has broken his silence following the collapse of his highly anticipated transfer to AC Milan, using humor and defiance to respond to critics.
Taking to Instagram, the Nigerian forward wrote in Pidgin English:
“Boniface no serious he dey everywhere.
I dey club like Leverkusen and club like Milan want me and I no serious.
So if I serious na club for Jupiter I go dey play.
Clowns everywhere.
If I no serious and I dey this level make I remain like that.”
His fiery response comes after sections of the Nigerian media accused him of being “too chronically online” and unprofessional, claims the 23-year-old has firmly rejected.
Boniface also called out transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, requesting that he delete a post that suggested that the failed deal was tied to his online lifestyle.
According to the striker, the transfer collapse had nothing to do with his social media activity.
Instead, reports confirm that AC Milan pulled out of the move after Boniface failed a medical assessment, with doctors raising concerns over recurring knee and muscle issues linked to his past injuries.
Despite the setback, Boniface remains a key figure at Bayer Leverkusen, where he played a crucial role in their historic Bundesliga triumph under coach Xabi Alonso.
