Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has been reported absent from Bayer Leverkusen’s training session amidst ongoing negotiations with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
The Saudi Arabian club aims to bring in Boniface as a replacement for Anderson Talisca, who is set to join Fenerbahce.
His absence from the training session suggests that he may not be included in Bayer Leverkusen’s matchday squad for their upcoming Champions League match against Sparta Prague on Wednesday.
Talks have reportedly intensified, with Al Nassr’s delegation arriving in Germany on Monday to discuss the transfer with both Boniface and Bayer Leverkusen.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Al Nassr are keen to secure Boniface’s services, and their representatives are working to finalise a deal with the player and the club.
The move is part of Al Nassr’s search for a new striker to replace Talisca, who recently joined Turkish club Fenerbahçe.
Al Nassr are also reportedly considering Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran as an alternative option. However, the £80m price tag for the 21-year-old Colombian striker may be a deterrent for the Saudi Arabian club.

Bayer Leverkusen may reportedly consider selling Victor Boniface for a fee of €50 million despite recently agreeing a new contract, making him one of the highest earners in the club.
Notably, they may not necessarily seek a replacement, having recently signed talented youngster Alejo Sarco.
