On the morning of Tuesday, January 28, reports emerged that Victor Boniface missed training and is on the verge of a move to Saudi Arabia. Xabi Alonso has now addressed these reports.
Details: The Spanish coach confirmed during a press conference that negotiations are indeed underway, and the team is preparing for the upcoming UEFA Champions League match without Boniface.
Quote: "This situation exists, and I understand it. Discussions with the club are ongoing. We need to wait. Of course, we are preparing for the game without Boni," said head coach Xabi Alonso.
Earlier, it was reported that a delegation from Al Nassr is in Leverkusen to negotiate with Boniface. The exact figures of the potential deal have not been disclosed.
Reminder: The Nigerian striker’s contract was quietly extended for another season. However, Bayer Leverkusen is still open to considering his sale if a lucrative offer comes in. The club values the player at no less than €50 million.
