Victor Boniface Set for Shock Move to Al-Nassr in Blockbuster €60M Deal

Nigerian football sensation Victor Boniface is on the verge of a sensational move to Saudi Arabian giants, Al-Nassr, in a staggering €60 million transfer from Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Nigerian Stories, the 24-year-old striker has completed his medicals, paving the way for one of the most high-profile African transfers in recent times.

Record-Breaking Deal for Boniface

The transfer, which is expected to be finalized in the coming days, will see Boniface earn a whopping €15 million per season in net wages—a massive upgrade from his current earnings in the Bundesliga.

His move to Al-Nassr will place him alongside global superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, and Marcelo Brozović, making him one of the highest-paid Nigerian footballers in history.

Leverkusen’s Golden Profit

Bayer Leverkusen, who signed Boniface from Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise for just €20 million in 2023, stand to make a huge profit from this deal. His explosive performances in the Bundesliga, where he became a key figure in Xabi Alonso’s title-challenging squad, caught the attention of European and Middle Eastern clubs alike.

Despite interest from Premier League and Serie A clubs, Al-Nassr’s lucrative offer proved too tempting to resist.

Boniface enjoyed a breakout season at Leverkusen, dazzling fans with his powerful finishing, hold-up play, and eye for goal. His departure, however, raises questions about whether he is leaving Europe too soon, with many believing he had the potential to dominate the UEFA Champions League stage.

Nonetheless, the move aligns with the growing trend of young elite players opting for the Saudi Pro League, where top clubs are reshaping global football with their financial muscle.

With medicals now successfully completed, an official announcement from Al-Nassr is imminent, sealing Boniface’s place in one of the most exciting football projects in the Middle East.

Will the Nigerian star thrive in Saudi Arabia, or will he return to Europe in the future to prove his worth at the highest level? Only time will tell.
