Bayer Leverkusen Managing Director Simon Rolfes has confirmed that Victor Boniface will not be joining Saudi club Al Nassr.
Boniface was close to sealing a lucrative move to Al Nassr after the Saudi club reached an agreement with Leverkusen for his transfer. The Nigerian international had also agreed on personal terms with Stefano Pioli’s side.
However, Al Nassr ultimately pulled out of the deal, choosing instead to sign Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran.
Rolfes expressed his satisfaction that Boniface will remain at Leverkusen. “There have been talks, but we are happy that he will be training with us today. I assume that he will stay,” he said. “He feels comfortable here, and his attitude towards the club remains unchanged.”
