Victor Boniface Extends Leverkusen Contract Until 2029
Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has extended his stay at Bayer Leverkusen, signing a new one-year contract with the Bundesliga side. This extension means his deal with Die Werkself now runs until 2029.
At just 24 years old, Boniface has established himself as a key player for Leverkusen, earning a spot among the club’s top earners. His impressive performances since joining the team have caught the attention of football fans and scouts alike.
However, despite committing to a longer stay, the Bundesliga club does not consider Boniface untouchable.
Leverkusen is open to offers for the talented forward but will not let him go cheaply, valuing him at no less than €50 million. His market value and recent form make him a hot prospect for big-spending clubs.
Interestingly, clubs from Saudi Arabia are reportedly monitoring the Nigerian star. With their growing investment in football and their ability to lure top players, they could be potential bidders shortly.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
