Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has broken his silence after his anticipated switch to Italian giants AC Milan collapsed over medical concerns.

The 24-year-old striker had travelled to Italy last week to complete a loan move from Bayer Leverkusen, with both clubs reaching an agreement for a €5 million loan fee and a €24 million buy option.

However, the deal fell apart on Sunday after Milan doctors reportedly raised red flags about his long-term fitness following extended medical checks.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the decision in a post on X, stating:
“AC Milan call Victor Boniface deal off as Nigerian striker did not pass the medical tests.”

🚨⚠️ AC Milan call Victor Boniface deal off as Nigerian striker did not pass the medical tests.

Despite verbal agreement for €5m loan fee and €24m buy clause with player in Milano in the last 48h, deal called off due to medical.

Boniface, who has battled two major anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in the past along with persistent groin problems, has now returned to Germany to reunite with his Leverkusen teammates.

According to reports, this isn’t the first time Italian clubs have expressed doubts about his fitness—Roma were said to have earlier pulled out of a potential swap deal involving the Nigerian for similar reasons.

Reacting to the setback, Boniface took to social media on Sunday evening to vent his frustration at critics who questioned his commitment and professionalism.

In his words:
“Boniface no serious, he dey everywhere. I dey club like Leverkusen and club like Milan want me and I no serious. So if I serious na club for Jupiter I go dey play.”

He ended his statement with a sharp rebuke:
“Clowns everywhere. If I no serious and I dey this level, make I remain like that.”

The Leverkusen striker’s response underlines his determination to push forward in his career despite the setback and silence those doubting his dedication.

Bayer Leverkusen’s sporting director, Simon Rolfes, has addressed speculation surrounding Victor Boniface’s potential move to Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr during the January 2025 transfer window.

Following weeks of rumors linking the Nigerian forward to a lucrative switch, Rolfes confirmed that there had been interest from clubs but stated that Boniface remains part of Leverkusen’s plans. Speaking in a recent interview, he revealed that the striker trained with the team and expressed confidence that he would stay at the club.

“There have been talks, but we are happy that he will be training with us today. I assume that he will stay. He feels comfortable here, his attitude towards the club is unchanged,” Rolfes stated.

Reports indicate that Al Nassr ultimately pursued Aston Villa forward Jhon Durán instead, securing a deal that was reportedly more expensive than their proposed offer for Boniface.

The club is seeking to bolster its attack following Anderson Talisca’s imminent move to Fenerbahce, aiming to complement an already star-studded frontline featuring Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane.

Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed the news via his X account on Monday, January 27, 2025. According to Romano, Al Nassr is determined to beat competition from Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United, to land the 24-year-old Super Eagles forward.

Romano stated: “Al Nassr has started official discussions for Victor Boniface as their new striker! Negotiations are underway with Bayer Leverkusen to replace Talisca. Another option is Jhon Durán, but Aston Villa remains determined to retain him.”

Victor Boniface, who recently extended his contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2026, is one of the Bundesliga club’s top earners. However, Leverkusen is reportedly open to selling the Nigerian forward if their €50 million valuation is met.

Boniface had an outstanding debut season in 2023/24, earning the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season award. He played a key role in Leverkusen’s historic league and cup double under Xabi Alonso, contributing 21 goals. Despite injury challenges this season, he has already found the net six times in the Bundesliga, showcasing his consistency and goal-scoring prowess.

The pursuit of Boniface underscores Al Nassr’s ambitions to remain competitive both domestically and in the AFC Champions League. With their eyes set on one of Africa’s most promising forwards, the club is positioning itself to secure a long-term replacement for Talisca while building on their growing global appeal.

As negotiations progress, all eyes will be on whether Al Nassr can finalize the deal and outbid their European rivals for Boniface’s signature.

Victor Boniface, the Super Eagles forward, has made headlines by matching the Bundesliga goal record of Nigerian legend Austin Jay-Jay Okocha.

In Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-2 draw against Holstein Kiel on Saturday, Boniface opened the scoring in the fourth minute, marking his fourth Bundesliga goal of the season.

Although his potential game-winning goal was later ruled out by VAR, the match was significant for the 23-year-old striker, as his tally in the German league now stands at 18 goals—equaling Okocha’s record, which was achieved during his time with Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1990s.

What makes Boniface’s achievement even more remarkable is that he has reached the 18-goal mark in just 29 Bundesliga appearances, whereas Okocha needed 90 matches to reach the same number.

This accomplishment places Boniface joint-fifth with Okocha on the list of Nigerian players with the most goals in Bundesliga history.

Boniface is now chasing the records of other Nigerian strikers in the Bundesliga. He needs four more goals to surpass Taiwo Awoniyi, 13 to overtake Anthony Ujah, and 15 to claim the second spot currently held by Victor Agali. However, the all-time Nigerian goal scorer in Bundesliga history remains Jonathan Akpoborie, who leads with an impressive 60 goals.

Bayer Leverkusen has etched their name in history by clinching their inaugural Bundesliga title with a resounding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen on Sunday.

Heading into the weekend’s match, Xabi Alonso’s side required just one more win to secure the BuLi title, given their remarkable form throughout the 2023–24 campaign. Leverkusen remained undefeated both domestically and in continental competitions.

🔴⚫️🏆 Bayer Leverkusen win the Bundesliga title for the FIRST time in their history!

True to form, Leverkusen dominated the game at the Bay Arena, securing the win with goals from Victor Boniface, Granit Xhaka, and a sensational hat-trick from Florian Wirtz.

The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute, when Leverkusen earned a penalty following a foul by Jonas Hofmann in the box. Victor Boniface calmly converted from the spot, slotting the ball low into the net.

Leverkusen nearly doubled their lead late in the first half as Yacine Adli rattled the crossbar with a powerful effort after a clever cross from Hofmann.

In the 60th minute, Leverkusen extended their lead with a stunning goal from Granit Xhaka, who expertly curled the ball into the top corner from 30 yards out.

Shortly after, Florian Wirtz showcased his brilliance by adding a third goal, unleashing a fierce shot into the roof of the net from outside the penalty area.

Wirtz completed his hat-trick late in the game, delighting the Bay Arena faithful with two more goals, sealing Leverkusen’s historic Bundesliga triumph.

This triumph marks Bayer Leverkusen’s first-ever league title, following five previous instances of finishing as runners-up. The achievement holds particular significance, echoing their memorable campaign in 2001/02, when a team led by Michael Ballack reached the finals of the UEFA Champions League and DFB-Pokal.

With the title secured, Alonso’s side now sets their sights on a potential treble this season. Leverkusen has already secured a spot in the DFB-Pokal final, where they will face 1. FCK, and are poised to advance to the UEFA Europa League semi-finals after a commanding 2-0 victory over West Ham in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.
