Nigerian striker Victor Boniface will remain at Bayer Leverkusen after his proposed transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr fell through. Despite advanced negotiations and reports of a completed medical, the deal was not finalized.
Al Nassr Pulls Out of Boniface Deal
Boniface was close to joining Al Nassr in a €60 million transfer, with an annual salary of €15 million. However, football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Saudi club decided not to proceed with the deal.
“Victor Boniface and Al Nassr, deal OFF. Nigerian striker won’t join the club, deal was advanced… but never done as Al Nassr never gave final green light,” Romano wrote on X.
Instead of Boniface, Al Nassr has chosen to sign Aston Villa’s Jhon Durán in a €77 million deal. The Colombian forward is set to undergo medicals before traveling to Saudi Arabia.
Boniface will now focus on his career with Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. He remains a key player for the club and will continue his development under manager Xabi Alonso.
Although this transfer did not go through, Boniface could still attract interest from other top European clubs before the transfer window closes.
