Nigeria international Victor Boniface has broken his silence after a move to Saudi Arabia giants Al Nassr fell through on transfer deadline day.
Boniface, who plies his trade for Bayer Leverkusen was a top transfer target for the Saudi Arabian outfit.
But in a dramatic turn of event, Al Nassr pulled out of the race and signed Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran.
Leverkusen were ready to sell the Nigeria international to Al-Nassr for €70m but could not materialized.
Despite failing to secure Al Nassr’s move, Boniface insists he is happy to remain at Leverkusen.
“There has been a lot of speculation here and there. But I like playing here and want to do my best for the team,” Boniface assured in an interview with sportsboom.com.
“Whatever happens in the future will happen, but at the moment I’m only thinking about helping Leverkusen achieve our goals. Transfer rumors are normal in football. It’s always flattering when big clubs show interest, but my focus at the moment is 100 percent on Bayer Leverkusen.
“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 manage that, I think everything else will fall into place.”
