Saudi Arabian powerhouse Al Nassr is making waves in the transfer market as they actively pursue Nigerian striker Victor Boniface to join forces with football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Soccerbaba.com.

Victor Boniface’s Stellar Performances for Bayer Leverkusen

The 24-year-old Super Eagles forward has been a revelation for Bayer Leverkusen, racking up an impressive tally of 29 goals and 11 assists in just 49 appearances across all competitions. His contributions were instrumental in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga triumph last season, where he netted 14 goals and provided nine assists.

Al Nassr’s Interest and the Ronaldo Factor

Recent weeks have been rife with speculation linking Boniface to clubs in Saudi Arabia and England. However, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that Al Nassr has initiated talks with Bayer Leverkusen regarding a potential transfer.

The Saudi club sees Boniface as the ideal replacement for Anderson Talisca, who is reportedly on the verge of joining a Turkish Super Lig side.

A move to Al Nassr could be highly lucrative for Boniface, as the Saudi club is known for offering extravagant packages that eclipse what most European clubs can afford. Furthermore, the opportunity to share the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo, one of football’s greatest icons, could be a dream come true for the Nigerian forward.

Potential Challenges and Bayer Leverkusen’s Stance

Boniface’s market value is pegged at €45 million on Transfermarkt, but Bayer Leverkusen is known for driving hard bargains when it comes to selling their top talent. While European clubs might be expected to pay up to €50 million, Saudi clubs’ deep pockets could see Leverkusen demand an even higher fee.

Leverkusen is reportedly keen on retaining Boniface and has tabled a contract extension. However, the allure of a more lucrative contract and the chance to play alongside Ronaldo might sway the Super Eagles star towards a move to the Middle East.

Whether Boniface opts to stay in Europe or embark on a new adventure in Saudi Arabia, his next move will undoubtedly be a defining moment in his career.
