As the transfer window nears its close, Bayer Leverkusen is on the verge of losing its key striker Victor Boniface, who is just a step away from joining Al Nassr.
Details. According to Florian Plettenberg, the forward will not be included in the squad for Bayer’s Champions League clash against Sparta today.
The decision was made to avoid jeopardizing his transfer to Al Nassr. A full agreement for the Nigerian’s move to Saudi Arabia has already been reached, though the necessary signatures are still pending.
The potential transfer fee is estimated at around €55 million, while Boniface could earn approximately €15 million net per season in Saudi Arabia.
Reminder. Previous reports indicated that the Bundesliga leaders are exploring the possibility of signing Brighton’s Evan Ferguson as a replacement for Boniface.
