Victor Boniface’s move to Al Nassr has collapsed, leaving the Nigerian striker at Bayer Leverkusen. Despite transfer uncertainty, he showed support for teammate Nathan Tella during Leverkusen’s Champions League match. Boniface is set to resume training as speculation about his future continues ahead of the Bundesliga clash against Hoffenheim.
Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has spoken out following the collapse of his highly anticipated transfer to Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr. The Bayer Leverkusen forward had been linked with a lucrative move, reportedly set to earn €15 million per year, but negotiations ultimately fell through.
Al Nassr had been looking to bolster their attack after the departure of Anderson Talisca to Fenerbahçe, sparking speculation about Boniface’s potential switch. However, recent developments confirmed that the move would not materialize, leaving the Super Eagles star to continue his career in Germany.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Boniface appeared unbothered by the situation. Breaking his silence on social media, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to support his teammate Nathan Tella during Bayer Leverkusen’s UEFA Champions League clash against Sparta Prague. When the club’s official account posted about Tella’s goal, Boniface simply responded, “My guy,” in support of his compatriot.
With the transfer window still open, the Nigerian forward may still attract interest from other clubs, but for now, he remains focused on his duties with Leverkusen. He is expected to resume training ahead of the club’s upcoming Bundesliga fixture against Hoffenheim, where he will look to continue his impressive form.
Boniface’s response suggests he is unfazed by the failed move and remains committed to helping Bayer Leverkusen push for success in domestic and European competitions. His future, however, remains a topic of interest as the transfer window progresses.
