Super Eagles sensation Victor Boniface is on the verge of a groundbreaking move to Saudi Pro League giants Al Nassr, where he will become the first Nigerian footballer to share the pitch with the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo!
In a jaw-dropping deal that unfolded in just 48 hours, Bayer Leverkusen and Al Nassr have agreed on a staggering €60 million transfer fee, with Boniface set to earn an eye-watering €15 million per season—five times his current salary!
Top transfer insiders, including Fabrizio Romano and Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, have confirmed that the 24-year-old striker has already passed his medical, sealing what could be the biggest Nigerian football move of 2025.
Boniface was noticeably absent from Leverkusen’s training ahead of their Champions League clash against Sparta Prague, with the club confirming he was "in conversations with another club." Coach Xabi Alonso further fueled the speculation, stating, “There are discussions with the club. We have to wait.”
With Al Nassr eager to replace Anderson Talisca, who recently departed, Boniface is seen as the perfect strike partner for Cristiano Ronaldo, forming what could be one of the deadliest attacking duos in world football.
The Nigerian goal machine, who joined Leverkusen in 2023 for just €20 million, has been on fire, netting 21 goals and providing 10 assists in 34 games last season. Despite being sidelined since November due to a thigh injury, he remains one of Europe’s hottest strikers.
With just days left in the transfer window, Leverkusen is scrambling for a replacement, with names like Mario Hermoso and Emiliano Buendía rumored to be on their radar.
Boniface’s move to Al Nassr marks not only a massive payday but also a historic moment for Nigerian football, as he steps onto the same stage as one of the greatest footballers of all time. Can he shine alongside CR7 and dominate the Saudi Pro League? Fans can’t wait to find out!
