22-year-old Victor Boniface who joined Union SG in the 2022 summer transfer window is close to exiting the club for Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen’s pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Boniface from Union St Gilloise is reaching its final stages, as the Nigerian attacker passes a medical test, Soccernet.ng reports.

In previous reports by Soccernet.ng, transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, revealed that negotiations between the two clubs are in an advanced stage, and a deal seems imminent.

In a recent update from the Italian journalist, Boniface has successfully passed medical tests, paving the way for him to sign a five-year deal with Bayer Leverkusen.

The talented 22-year-old striker has reportedly agreed on personal terms with Leverkusen, indicating his keen interest in making a move to the German club. The focus now shifts to finalizing the transfer deal, which is rumoured to be worth more than €20 million.

Boniface’s performances have not gone unnoticed, especially after impressing against Xabi Alonso’s team in the UEFA Europa League.

The former Liverpool player praised the Nigerian’s talents and described him as a terrific player and a serious threat to the opposition’s defence.

Excitement and anticipation among German fans are building, as Boniface has showcased immense promise during his time with Union St Gilloise and has left a lasting impression on those facing him on the pitch.

Passing a medical test with the Bay Arena outfit signifies that the deal is close to being completed, and Leverkusen will soon have a promising attacking option bolstering their offensive firepower.

If the transfer is finalized, Boniface’s arrival will add significant depth and quality to Leverkusen’s attacking line-up, providing them with a dynamic and talented young striker for the seasons to come.
