Nigerian striker, Victor Boniface says he is focused on helping Bayer Leverkusen.
His remarks follow after his proposed move to Al-Nassr fell through during the winter transfer window in a deal worth around €70 million.
Al-Nassr has moved on to sign Jhon Duran from Aston Villa.
Speaking in an interview, the Leverkusen star Victor Boniface makes no secret of the fact that Al-Nassr’s interest in him was “flattering”
Despite the deal collapsing at the last moment, Boniface does not want to look back.
“What happens in the future will happen, but at the moment I’m only thinking about helping Leverkusen achieve our goals,” he said.
“Transfer rumors are normal in football. It’s always flattering when big clubs show interest, but my focus is 100 percent on Bayer Leverkusen at the moment,” said Boniface.
“Every game is an opportunity. I want to contribute goals, assists and energy to the team. I just want to stay fit, keep playing and keep improving. If I can do that, I think everything else will follow,” he added.
Since arriving the club during the 2023/2024 season, the bulky striker has inspired the Xavi Alonso side to German Bundesliga title and Europa League silver medal.
