Bayer Leverkusen head coach, Xabi Alonso, has announced that Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface will resume training immediately after a potential move to Al-Nassr did not materialize.
Since joining Leverkusen in the summer of 2023, Victor Boniface, 24, has made a significant impact, helping his team secure a local double during his debut season.
Despite recently signing a contract extension until 2029 with Leverkusen, Boniface continued to attract interest, notably from Al-Nassr. The Saudi Pro League club reportedly offered him a lucrative deal worth up to €15 million in wages.
However, the opportunity for Boniface to join Al-Nassr fell through when the club opted to sign Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran for €77 million instead.
Now that his future is firmly with Leverkusen, Coach Alonso expressed his satisfaction with Boniface’s presence in the squad. “He will train again tomorrow. I believe he is staying with us. I am pleased about this situation. He is comfortable here, and I don’t believe this has caused him any stress,” Alonso remarked after Leverkusen’s 2-0 victory over Sparta Prague, as reported by Fotmob.
