Victor Boniface is not considering an exit from Bundesliga outfit, Bayer Leverkusen this summer, according to his agent Atta Aneke, Prompt News reports.
Boniface was close to joining Saudi Pro League side, Al-Nassr in January but the move fell through at the last minute.
Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly looking to sell the Nigeria international after signing promising talent Christian Kofane from Spanish club, Albacete.
The 24-year-old has attracted the interest of Premier League club Newcastle United.
Aneke however said the striker is still committed to Bayer Leverkusen
“Victor has ended the season after his trip to the national team. He’s on vacation now, will train hard during his vacation, and then return for preseason. There’s a new coach, a new setup, but still a very good team that’s back in the Champions League. Victor and I have never discussed a transfer,” Aneke told BILD.
Bonifce struggled with injuries and loss of form last season.
The striker lost his place in the starting line-up to Patrick Schick, who was the team’s top scorer.
Schick is expected to be retained by the former Bundesliga champions.
Boniface scored 11 goals in 27 across all competitions for Die Werkself in the 2024/25 season.
The forward joined Bayer Leverkusen from Belgian Pro League outfit Union Saint-Gillloise in 2023.
He has three years left on his contract with Erik ten Hag’s side.
