Victor Boniface Passes Medical Tests Ahead of €60 Million Move to Al-Nassr
The move is part of a significant €60 million deal between Al-Nassr and Bayer Leverkusen for the 24-year-old Nigerian forward.
Boniface, who will earn a reported €15 million net per season at Al-Nassr, has become one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market.
The reports of the Riyadh club’s interest in the Akure-born striker gained momentum over recent days, with Al-Nassr aiming to replace departing star Talisco.
On Tuesday, Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso confirmed that negotiations were progressing between the two clubs, with Boniface at the center of the deal. This move comes just a week after Boniface extended his contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2026, raising questions about the sudden transfer.
Boniface joined Leverkusen in July 2023 for €20.5 million, and his impact has been nothing short of impressive. Despite a thigh injury that kept him sidelined since November, Boniface scored eight goals in 15 appearances for the Bundesliga side. His 14 goals in 23 league matches helped Leverkusen secure the Bundesliga title, an achievement they managed without losing a single game.
The Nigerian forward’s stellar performances also earned him the prestigious Rookie of the Year award, with Boniface winning the monthly prize on four occasions.
