Victor Boniface Set for Summer Exit? Bayer Leverkusen Open to Offers
Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface may be on the verge of a major career move as German Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly open to letting him leave this summer — if the right offer comes in.
According to renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the club is ready to listen to proposals following Boniface’s stalled transfer to Saudi side Al Nassr in January. That deal fell through despite advanced talks, but the striker now has renewed interest from clubs in both the English Premier League and Turkey.
“Victor Boniface and Bayer Leverkusen could part ways this summer with a good proposal for both sides,” Romano confirmed on X.
⚽ Boniface: Potential Untapped?
The 24-year-old striker scored 8 goals and provided 1 assist in 19 appearances for Leverkusen during the 2024/25 season. While these numbers may not scream “blockbuster,” Boniface showed flashes of brilliance and physical presence that made him a crucial part of Xabi Alonso’s attacking arsenal — especially before injuries disrupted his rhythm.
His talent is not in doubt. His hunger, pressing ability, and link-up play are valuable assets for any forward-thinking side. And with his relatively young age, Boniface is still seen as a high-upside investment for clubs seeking power and mobility up front.
🗣️ Opinion: Is Boniface Making the Right Move?
It’s no secret that playing time and development are key at this stage of his career. If Leverkusen — fresh off their Bundesliga-winning campaign — can no longer guarantee him a prominent role, a move makes sense. But it has to be the right one.
The Premier League would offer visibility and intensity, but would he get regular starts? In contrast, a move to Turkey might offer less spotlight but more room to grow and dominate.
He must avoid becoming a rotational piece in a crowded squad. If he joins a team that values his playing style and gives him freedom, Boniface could be a breakout name by this time next year.
🔮 What’s Next?
All eyes will be on whether a “good proposal” truly lands on Leverkusen’s table. With the transfer window heating up and multiple strikers being shopped across Europe, Boniface’s fate might be sealed sooner rather than later.
