Victor Boniface is set to become the highest-paid Super Eagles star, as he is set to earn a whooping €15million (about ₦23billion) per season.
According to SkySports Germany reporter, Florian Plettenberg on Tuesday, regarding Al Nassr’s offer tablled to the Nigerian striker and Bayer Leverkusen.
“Advanced negotiations are underway between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Al-Nassr regarding a transfer of Victor Boniface.
“The current transfer fee is approximately €55m. Boniface could earn around €15m net per season. New contracts are currently being exchanged.”
On Tuesday, Boniface was missing in Bayer Leverkusen’s final training session. SportingSun reported on Monday that Saudi Pro League top club, Al Nassr delegation was in Germany since Monday to negotiate with the Nigerian and German clubs.
According to Kicker on Tuesday, Boniface’s move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia is apparently taking shape.
On Tuesday afternoon, the centre-forward was, as expected, absent from the final training session before the Champions League match against Sparta Prague tonight at the Ulrich Haberland Stadium.
It would indeed be negligent to expose the player to the risk of injury, for which Bayer could ultimately receive far more than €50 million if the deal goes through.
According to the club, Boniface was absent because the attacker was “in talks with another club.
The German double-winner thus confirmed negotiations for a transfer of the 24-year-old, with the transfer poker between the two clubs picking up speed on Monday.
However, Xabi Alonso confirms the deal for Victor Boniface to Al Nassr: “There is this situation, and I understand that. There are discussions with the club”.
“We have to wait. We’re preparing for the game without Boni of course”.
