Nigerian striker Victor Boniface was notably absent from Bayer Leverkusen’s training session today, fueling speculation about his potential transfer to Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr.
A delegation from Al Nassr has been in Germany since Monday, actively engaging in negotiations with both the player and Bayer Leverkusen officials. The move appears to be in advanced stages, with discussions primarily centered around the financial aspects of the transfer for both Boniface and the club.
Fabrizio Romano, a football transfer expert confirmed that Boniface is open to the move, indicating a readiness to explore opportunities in the Middle East. This comes shortly after Bayer Leverkusen opened the door for talks with Al Nassr, suggesting that an agreement could be on the horizon if terms are settled.
The interest from Al Nassr in Boniface stems from their need for a new striker following the departure of Anderson Talisca to Fenerbahçe. Boniface, known for his impressive performance since joining Leverkusen from Union SG in 2023, could potentially join forces with stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane at Al Nassr.
Details of the financial package are still under discussion, but the presence of the Al Nassr delegation in Germany underscores the urgency and seriousness of this transfer negotiation.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on whether this deal can be finalized, marking another significant move in the Saudi Pro League’s strategy to attract high-profile international talents.
