Victor Boniface Seals Loan Move To Werder Bremen From Bayer Leverkusen

‎Nigeria forward, Victor Boniface, has been loaned to Werder Bremen for a full season from Bayer Leverkusen, the clubs announced Monday.

‎”I’m certain he can be a very important factor for us this season,” Bremen coach Horst Steffen said in a statement.

‎The deadline-day deal was finalized after multiple failed transfer attempts for the 24-year-old.

‎Earlier in January, Al Nassr reportedly tabled a €70 million bid for Boniface, but the move collapsed when the Saudi side chose to sign Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran instead.

‎In August, Boniface was linked with a move to AC Milan, but the deal fell through after he reportedly failed a medical, despite an agreement with Leverkusen.

‎Boniface was pivotal in Leverkusen’s unbeaten double-winning season, scoring 14 goals and providing nine assists in 23 league matches.

‎He has now become the latest star to depart the club in this transfer window.

‎Other high-profile exits include Florian Wirtz, Granit Xhaka, Jonathan Tah, Jeremie Frimpong, and coach Xabi Alonso.
