Bayer Leverkusen are closing in on an agreement with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr over the sale of striker Victor Boniface. Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso confirmed that the Nigeria international missed training ahead of Wednesday's Champions League match against Sparta Prague as Al-Nassr work to finalize agreements both with the German champions and Boniface.

A Nigerian man said Victor Boniface's reported move to Al-Nassr was a good development. According to the man, if Boniface decides to accept the offer, it would be worth it because it is a good financial decision. Boniface is reportedly moving to Al-Nassr in a mouthwatering deal worth €60 million as he will be earning €15 million per year.

Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso said Wednesday that Nigerian striker Victor Boniface is set to stay at the club following reports of a possible transfer to Saudi Arabia.

The apparent collapse of a possible Boniface transfer could remove one obstacle for a move to Saudi Arabia for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran. He has also been linked with Al-Nass

Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface was left out of training on Tuesday as German media reports linked the striker with a move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.

Victor Boniface’s proposed move from Bayer Leverkusen to Al Nassr has collapsed. The Super Eagles forward will remain with the Bundesliga champions after the Saudi Pro League side opted not to complete the deal.
