Boniface edges closer to long-term contract extension at Bayer Leverkusen

Super Eagles star Victor Boniface is close to signing a contract extension at Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen, Soccernet.ng reports.

Boniface has been impressive for Bayer Leverkusen since his €21.7 million transfer from Royale Union SG last year. Last season, the Super Eagles striker registered 21 goals and ten assists to help Bayer Leverkusen reach the Europa League final and claim their first-ever Bundesliga title. He could even have scored more goals, but for the thigh injury he sustained at the turn of the year.

Following his impressive campaign with Die Werkself, Boniface was linked with a big move to a top club. However, he opted to remain at Leverkusen.

This season, the 23-year-old striker has produced seven goals and one assist in 13 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen.

Boniface’s current contract is supposed to expire at the end of the 2027/28 season, and there have been talks that Bayer Leverkusen are making moves to extend the deal.

Now, according to a new development, per Transfer News Live, Bayer Leverkusen are edging closer to extending Boniface’s contract.

Although the Super Eagles star is injured, the deal is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. The move goes to show the high premium the German Champions place on Boniface.
