Victor Boniface has brushed off rumours linking him with a summer exit from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen.
The Nigerian forward has been the subject of transfer speculation following what many considered a below-par 2024/25 season, during which he scored 11 goals and provided one assist in 27 appearances across all competitions.
Boniface, 24, has reportedly attracted interest from Serie A heavyweights AC Milan and Juventus. Despite the links, he has confirmed his intention to stay at the BayArena beyond the current transfer window.
“I’m absolutely certain that my future is here. From my point of view, it’s 100% clear that I’m staying. I still have three years left on my contract, I want to win titles with Bayer, and have a great season,” he told BILD.
Boniface also discussed his relationship with fellow striker Patrick Schick.
Do you remember our 4-3 win in Stuttgart? We played together and had one of the best games of the season. Patrik is a very good friend. We push each other every day,” he added.
