Nigeria's Victor Boniface could leave Bayer Leverkusen for Al Nassr this window after a big-money bid from the Saudi Pro League.
Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface’s bold comment about choosing between money and trophies has resurfaced amid intense speculation linking him with a move to Saudi Pro League giants Al Nassr.

Al Nassr is reportedly in advanced negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen to secure Boniface’s services for a fee exceeding €60 million, a figure that aligns with the club's strategy to bolster its attacking lineup following the departure of Anderson Talisca.

Victor Boniface: Why Super Eagles star may not join Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr
The 24-year-old striker has been in impressive form, scoring eight goals in 15 matches this season before an injury sidelined him in November.

The Boniface statement, made in a resurfaced video on TikTok, has stirred significant discussion as the Nigerian forward approaches a lucrative move from Bayer Leverkusen to the Saudi Pro League club.

Asked what he would choose if presented a choice between winning trophies or money, the Super Eagles striker was straight to the point, stating, “Money.”

Boniface's reaction reflects a growing trend among players prioritising financial rewards over traditional accolades in football.

Boniface will be hoping to continue from where he stopped before the injury.

Meanwhile, his absence from training ahead of Leverkusen’s Champions League match against Sparta Prague has further fueled speculation about his imminent transfer.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed the official talks on social media, highlighting that Boniface is poised to become one of the highest-paid Nigerian footballers, with an annual salary projected at €15 million.

Boniface is Nigeria's most valuable player.
This move not only positions him alongside stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane at Al Nassr but also represents a huge financial leap from his current earnings in Germany.

The discussions between Al Nassr and Leverkusen have progressed rapidly, with reports indicating that Boniface has already passed his medical examination.

Victor Boniface is back in training but has not played since December.
With both clubs eager to finalise the deal before the transfer window closes, Boniface's decision appears increasingly clear: he is ready to embrace the financial opportunities offered by the Saudi Pro League regardless of debates about his age and leaving Europe's top five leagues..

Go for the money

Nigerians don't understand why he is making this move early in his career. That is because he signed a bad contract that pays him only €2 million Euros a year half of which goes to the German government in tax for the next for four years until 2028 by that time he will be 27. And recently signed a new contract extension for €6 million Euros for year 2029 by that time he will be 28.

With this Saudi deal he will be making €15 million Euros which is €13 million more than what he currently makes and he won't be paying tax on his wages in Saudi Arabia.

Only problem is that he will be living in Saudi Arabia can't be drinking outside his gated estate or carrying girls up an down. Saudi Arabia a very strict Muslim nation.

Foreigners are allowed freedom within their gated estates, however, outside the estate have to conform to their muslim culture.

He is free to do whatever he wants in Germany where he currently resides.However, he has to watch how he moves in Saudi Arabia or that contract could be terminated.
