Victor Boniface to join Al-Nassr, earn €15m per season

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has completed his medicals ahead of a high-profile move to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr.

 

Bayer Leverkusen have since agreed to a €60 million transfer deal for the 24-year-old striker, reports SkySport Germany.

 

 

Boniface is set to earn a staggering €15 million net per season with the Riyadh-based club.

 

Reports of Al-Nassr’s interest in the Akure-born forward gained momentum recently, with the club seeking a replacement for the outgoing Anderson Talisca.

 

Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso confirmed on Tuesday that negotiations were progressing between the two clubs, with Boniface central to the transfer talks.

 

The move comes just a week after Boniface extended his contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2026. Upon confirmation, he will become the second most expensive player to leave the Bundesliga club following Kai Havertz’s €80 million move to Chelsea in 2020.

 

Boniface will join an elite squad at Al-Nassr, featuring global stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Aymeric Laporte.

 

The striker initially joined Leverkusen in July 2023 for €20.5 million. He had a remarkable debut season, scoring 14 goals in 23 Bundesliga matches and helping his team clinch the league title without suffering a single defeat. Boniface’s stellar performances earned him the Bundesliga Rookie of the Year award, having won the monthly equivalent four times.

 

Despite being sidelined with a thigh injury since November, Boniface has managed to net eight goals in 15 games this season for the German side.
