Xabi Alonso Confirms Victor Boniface’s Potential Move to Al Nassr
Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has confirmed that Victor Boniface is in talks to leave the German club for Al Nassr. The Nigerian striker has been impressive for Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 29 goals and providing 11 assists in 49 appearances.
In a recent press conference, Alonso acknowledged the situation, stating that there are discussions with the club, but they need to wait for further developments. “There is this situation, and I understand that. There are discussions with the club. We have to wait. We’re preparing for the game without Boni, of course,” Alonso said.
Boniface’s potential move to Al Nassr is reportedly worth over €50 million, with the Saudi Arabian club seeking to replace Anderson Talisca, who is set to join Fenerbahce. The transfer fee would be a significant windfall for Bayer Leverkusen, who signed Boniface from Union Saint-Gilloise in 2022.
The potential move to Al Nassr would see Boniface join forces with Cristiano Ronaldo, a prospect that might be attractive to the young Nigerian striker. Al Nassr has been investing heavily in top talent, and Boniface would be a significant addition to their squad.
However, it remains to be seen how the transfer saga will unfold. Alonso’s confirmation of the talks suggests that a deal is possible, but nothing is certain until the transfer is officially announced.
Bayer Leverkusen Prepares for Life Without Boniface
In the meantime, Bayer Leverkusen is preparing for their upcoming Champions League game against Sparta Prague without Boniface. Alonso revealed that the team is focusing on the game, despite the uncertainty surrounding Boniface’s future.
“We’re preparing for the game without Boni, of course. We have to focus on the game, and we’ll see what happens with Victor,” Alonso said.
Bayer Leverkusen will be hoping to secure a positive result against Sparta Prague, regardless of Boniface’s involvement. The team has been inconsistent in the Champions League, and a win would be a significant boost to their qualification hopes.
The Future of Victor Boniface
As the transfer saga continues to unfold, one thing is certain: Victor Boniface’s future is uncertain. Will he join Al Nassr and partner with Cristiano Ronaldo, or will he remain with Bayer Leverkusen? Only time will tell.
