Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso has confirmed that Nigeria striker Victor Boniface will remain with the club for the upcoming season. Boniface, who had been linked with a move to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia including reports of a [completed medical](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/stadiums-and-facilities/10-reasons-caf-approved-remo-stars-stadium-ikenne-for-champions-league/) and a potential €70 million fee has ended speculation by returning to training with the [Bundesliga champions](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-tactics-and-analysis/) after their 2–0 win over Sparta Prague. +
+
Alonso expressed relief and optimism following the transfer collapse, stating "He trains with us again … I’m happy that he stays. He feels comfortable, and he will continue competing for his place." The coach also confirmed Leverkusen have no plans to sign a replacement striker this window. +
+
Despite the high-profile interest, Alonso downplayed any tension, adding that Boniface is settled and focused on fighting for his role in the squad. The 24 year old joins the team ahead of a key Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim this weekend. +

We welcome the clarity that comes with this decision. At a time when clubs often prioritise quick profit over continuity, Leverkusen’s commitment to retaining Boniface speaks volumes. Not only does this signal faith in his talent, but it reinforces a culture of stability especially important as they gear up for another season at Europe’s top level. +

Boniface brings more than just goals he offers potential. Despite injury woes last term, his return promises to re-energise the strike force alongside Patrik Schick. The failed Al Nassr move may well have been a blessing in disguise instead of chasing a lucrative exit, he refocuses on sporting ambition under Alonso’s guidance. +

There’s also a wider [message](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/womens-football/nwfl-super-six-bayelsa-queens-beat-rivers-angels-in-fierce-derby/) for the Super Eagles faithful. Holding onto one of Nigeria’s brightest talents shows that homegrown players can thrive at the very top. It’s a reaffirmation that Europe remains the premium platform for development and recognition where loyalty and performance often speak louder than money alone. +

Leverkusen’s stance is bold and we believe it's the right one. By [keeping](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/merchandising-and-branding/) Boniface, they maintain squad strength, send a message of intent, and create a platform for him to prove his worth. This season, let every goal reaffirm their decision and his belief. +
