Victor Boniface is in talks to join Al Nassr, replacing Anderson Talisca, who is heading to Fenerbahçe. Despite a contract extension with Bayer Leverkusen, the Bundesliga club is open to selling him for €50 million. Al Nassr aims to pair him with Cristiano Ronaldo for a stronger attack.
In a surprising turn of events, Al Nassr has initiated talks to sign Victor Boniface, the Nigerian striker currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen. According to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Saudi Pro League club is eyeing Boniface to replace Anderson Talisca, who is set to join Fenerbahçe in Istanbul.
Boniface, 24, has become one of Bayer Leverkusen's highest-paid players following a recent contract extension that runs until 2026. Despite this, the Bundesliga club is not opposed to selling him, although they are reportedly seeking a substantial fee of €50 million.
Al Nassr's interest in Boniface comes as they continue to strengthen their squad, with the Nigerian forward seen as a potential addition to bolster their attacking options alongside global superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
While Jhon Durán of Aston Villa is also reportedly a contender for the role, Leverkusen's firm stance on keeping Boniface may complicate matters for Al Nassr, who are eager to finalize the deal. The negotiations could intensify as clubs look to finalize their squads ahead of the new season.
With Boniface’s future uncertain, fans eagerly await developments in this high-profile transfer saga.
