Bayer Leverkusen is set to reward Nigerian striker Victor Boniface with a lucrative new contract, which will see him become the club’s highest-paid player.
Despite a recent thigh muscle injury, the 23-year-old has been one of the standout performers this season, and Bayer is keen to secure his future until 2029, extending his current deal, which runs through 2028.
Reports indicate that negotiations are in the final stages, and Boniface’s salary is expected to soar from €3 million annually, reflecting his growing value to the team. His performances have attracted interest from top Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal making Bayer’s move a critical step in ensuring they retain one of their most influential players.
However, Boniface is in no rush to leave Germany. He has made it clear that he is happy at Bayer and has no immediate plans to seek a move. Bayer’s proactive approach to securing Boniface’s future is crucial to maintaining their competitive edge both domestically and in Europe.
