Victor Boniface considers January exit from Bayer Leverkusen

Victor Boniface is considering leaving Bayer 04 Leverkusen during the January transfer window, with the Nigeria striker’s position at the club becoming increasingly difficult.

The 25-year-old wants to move on in January, according to Florian Plettenberg, after falling down the attacking pecking order at the German club. The coming weeks are expected to be important in deciding the future of the former Union Saint-Gilloise player.

Leverkusen are understood to be open to Boniface’s departure and willing to consider several options, including a loan move. Two requests have already been made for the striker, suggesting interest in his situation is beginning to develop ahead of the transfer window.

Boniface remains under contract with Leverkusen until 2028 but is currently regarded as the club’s third-choice striker. That status has significantly restricted his playing time and may encourage him to seek a new club where he can play more regularly.

The Nigeria international’s estimated market value has also fallen sharply in recent months. Transfermarkt now values him at 5 million euros.

Despite that decline, Boniface is still viewed as a player with potential on the transfer market. At 25, he could appeal to clubs looking for a striker capable of rebuilding his form and establishing himself again. A move in January therefore appears increasingly possible.

Leverkusen are due to play their 10th Bundesliga match against Paderborn in the coming weeks.
