Mi Tie: Rome had previously refused to introduce Bonifas, thinking that his physical condition was worrying

August 24, the Milan Sports Daily reported that Leverkusen had previously recommended Bonifas to several teams, among which Roma rejected the deal.

Bonifas has completed a Milan medical examination, but has not officially become a Milan player. After another day of in-depth inspection, the Nigerian striker still has to actually wait for the registration permission of the Nigerian striker. Bonifas's physical condition remains a major question, and this is one of the reasons why Rome refused to sign him.

Mite revealed that Leverkusen had previously recommended Bonifas to several European clubs. These include Roma, who is looking for a striker to replace Dovpyk. A few weeks ago, Leverkusen directly proposed to exchange Bonifas for Dovbik, which is also not reused by Gasperini, with both sides valuations of 30 million euros. Sports director Masala was open to the deal, believing that it would not only allow Roma to obtain a striker who is more in line with Gaspe's tactical characteristics, but also reduce the salary burden (Dorfbik's salary is about three times that of Bonifas). But before the negotiations were initiated, Rome's management hoped to clarify the situation first.

Over the past year, Bonifas has missed many games due to muscle problems and has very little playing time during pre-season preparation, not to mention the off-court problems encountered in Leverkusen. Roma has delved into the Nigerian player’s recent game performance, and even doubts about his right knee can bear.

After a detailed analysis of pros and cons, Masala reached a consensus with Ranieri and Gasperini, and finally chose to reject Leverkusen's proposal. Moreover, this deal will also hinder Leon Pele's joining, because both of them are non-EU players. Despite this, Roma is still looking for a solution for Dovbik, which will open the door to bring in another striker.
