Unable to deploy/push to a github the .NET 4.72 ASMX webservice because of error MSB4019 (microsoft.webapplication.targets" was not found)

I have .NET 4.72 ASMX Web Service that references a .Net Standard 2.0 class library with the Entity Framework

I am using Visual Studio 2022

Everything works fine when I work with the code locally. Everything successfully compiles and runs

However, when I try to push the code to a GIT repository, the code fails. It gives me this error

error MSB4019: The imported project "/usr/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.305/Microsoft/VisualStudio/v17.0/WebApplications/Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found. Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "/usr/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.305/Microsoft/VisualStudio/v17.0/WebApplications/Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" is correct, and that the file exists on disk.<br />

I tried to remove all those targets references from my proj file, but the VS adds this line automatically

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v17.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />

If I force this targets reference out of the proj file, I will get a different error

error MSB3644: The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2 were not found. To resolve this, install the Developer Pack (SDK/Targeting Pack) for this framework version or retarget your application. You can download .NET Framework Developer Packs at https://aka.ms/msbuild/developerpacks<br />

What can I do to successfully push the code to GitHub

Thank you in advance

What I have tried:

I also tried to copy target files locally in the project folder and reference them from there

Also, I tried to use

<Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' != ''" />

Instead of

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v17.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />

Nothings works
