Victor Boniface is having a difficult start at his new club, Werder Bremen, due to excess weight.

The striker, who led Bayer Leverkusen to the league title in 2024, is currently struggling with excess weight.

The club’s sporting director Clemens Fritz confirmed this to BILD.

Boniface was crowned champion last year under successful manager Xabi Alonso, with 21 goals and 10 assists in 34 official matches.

The following season, his numbers dipped somewhat, although he was still important for Leverkusen with 11 goals in 27 matches. A departure in the summer was inevitable, but his transfer was anything but smooth.

The former Union SG striker initially seemed destined for Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr, but failed his medical.

A few weeks later, a move to AC Milan also fell through. Ultimately, Boniface opted for a loan deal with low-flying Werder Bremen, where he has made only four appearances so far.

According to Fritz, this is due to his physical condition.

“We’ve clearly identified the issues together with Victor and are supporting him in every way possible,” said the sporting director.

“He accepts our support and wants to work on himself, with extra training, physiotherapy, and a modified nutrition plan. We’re working closely with him.”

Victor Boniface and his agent should sit and replan his career. Obviously, his career journey has taken a new turn because of injuries and its scars.

I pray he achieves fitness and the target body weight as well as impress this new coach to at least play more games before the season ends to facilitate favourable transfer in summer next year.

I love Boniface...

Dude always makes me laugh. Funny dude. But his career is also becoming as funny as his personality. Dude is just too unserious with his career.




Anyway, Bremen took a risk when they signed him after failed medicals prior. They are in, they are in. Best they can do is manage the situation and give him the best support they can.


Not a prophet of doom. But doesn't look like Boniface would have a long career in football. He should start saving and planning for his future without football. I hope he proves me wrong though.


And by the way Boniface has always looked unfit and on the heavy side to me as a player.

It is what it is...no hate!

He fat pass Lukaku?

Anyway, he should proceed on 28days dry fasting.

He can still work on his weight if he wants to... At least he has direction unlike tinubu way an everywhere Belle face....

What a sad development for boniface. To be out of shape in football means game over. Ask Ronaldo de lima

That's actually a sign of good living in Nigeria......

He done chop fufu finish for naija

He has always looked fat though...

Mbeumo is not fat, he's stocky.

Ronaldo de lima was also in his early thirties when he gained weight. That's the age at which retirement starts beckoning for many footballers...unless you want to follow the insane exercise and diet regimen of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi...or be a yoga master like GIggs.

When that olosho girl was overfeeding him on social media, i warned him

This coaches dey openly talk their mind when ever it comes to African players, why?

Lol ...the coach never said fat directly na😹

The guy is a striker ,so he needs to be in a perfect shape ,the guy used to be a sharp shooter...except lakuku is his role model ...in my PS game lakuku kept missing clear chances, I had to drop him from my squad.... ..I never even see boniface buy ,he's getting fat like lakuku

I trust he would bounce back to fitness and in his scoring and winning ways

I love Victor Boniface and wish him well in his new club

He should work on himself and cooperate with his club in their efforts to support him.
All the best, Victor.

Is he fatter than Lukaku.... abeg make I hear word

Somebody's name is bony face you no want make him chop? How else will his name become fatoyibo?

He should explore social media influencer route and possibly collabo with peller to boost his new career

Guyyy
It surprises that there are players who maybe a little bit more overweight than Boniface but still performing optimally. Take for example, Mateta of Crystal Palace. That guy looks bulky for a CF, yet he carries himself well.

Does he has weigh more than Lukaku ?....

Just asking why our bloda...

This is not cool...

This skit maker career in football is no longer promising o. He have to work harder in his football career if he want to breakthrough in it.
Football is a difficult sport where a little break can cost you a lot

He should force a move to Saudi Arabia by summer for a huge salary in Arabia.

He's too fat and probably older than his football age, his career is on a decline. A heavy salary in Saudi will help him transition to non football career in nest 2 or 3 years.
