Al Nassr Initiates Talks With Bayer Leverkusen For Victor Boniface

Al Nassr are making efforts to sign Nigerian striker, Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen before the end of the winter transfer window.

The Saudi Arabian club is looking to bring in Victor Boniface to fill the void left by Anderson Talisca, who is set to transfer to Fenerbahçe in Istanbul, football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared this on his official X page on Monday, January 27.

Romano wrote, “Al Nassr have initiated official talks for Victor Boniface as their new striker! Negotiations are underway with Bayer Leverkusen to secure the Nigerian talent to succeed Talisca. Another potential candidate is Jhon Durán, but Aston Villa remains determined to retain him.”

Despite recently extending his contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2026, making him one of the top earners at the club, Boniface is not deemed unsellable. It’s anticipated that Leverkusen will seek at least €50 million for the 24-year-old striker from prospective clubs.

Meanwhile, Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers has said he is not rushing to leave the Light Blues this month.

After losing his starting position to Hamza Igamane, Dessers has been the subject of transfer speculation. However, he remains focused on his performances, having scored six goals in his last four matches for Philippe Clement’s team.

In an interview with Daily Record, Dessers indicated he has not yet engaged with senior figures at Rangers about a potential departure. “I have not had any talks. I’m focusing on my football and the events on the pitch,” he said.

“What I can control is my performance. I’m enjoying being on the field with my teammates, fighting for points, and contributing. I have unfinished business at Rangers, which is why I’ve been pushing hard in training and maximizing my minutes.”
