Nigerian football star Victor Boniface has responded to online trolls who criticized him after his failed medical test with AC Milan. The 24-year-old striker’s potential transfer to the Italian club collapsed after the medical verdict revealed concerns about his right knee, previously operated on twice due to anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
Boniface took to social media to address his critics, particularly a lady who mocked him online. He shot back with a witty remark, “I see ur wig, shame catch me on ur behalf.” This sharp response instantly went viral, sparking debate among fans about whether he should have ignored the trolls or defended himself. The incident highlights the challenges athletes face on social media, where opinions and criticisms can be harsh.
The failed medical test forced AC Milan to walk away from the deal, which was reportedly agreed upon for a €5 million loan fee with an option to buy for €24 million. Boniface has now returned to Bayer Leverkusen, where he is expected to focus on rebuilding his momentum in the Bundesliga season. Despite the setback, fans believe the striker has the talent to bounce back strongly, and this failed transfer could serve as extra motivation for him.
Fans took to social media to share their reactions to Boniface’s response to his critic. Some supported his decision to stand up for himself, while others felt he should have ignored the trolls. One fan commented, “U dey beg with her hairline,” suggesting the critic was more concerned about her appearance. Another fan joked about the critic’s hairline, saying, “Make she no let real estate get hold of that acres of land wey dey her forehead o.”
With his transfer saga now behind him, Boniface will focus on his football career with Bayer Leverkusen. His performances on the pitch will likely silence his critics, and fans are eagerly awaiting his next move. As the striker settles back into his routine with Leverkusen, he’ll aim to prove his doubters wrong and make a strong comeback in the Bundesliga season .
