Victor Boniface Says His Move To Al Nassr Failed at the Last Minute
Victor Boniface has opened up about how a big-money move from Bayer Leverkusen to Al Nassr fell apart at the very last minute. The Nigerian striker had everything in place, he had agreed personal terms with the Saudi club, passed his medical, and was looking forward to playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
The deal, which would have earned him around €45 million over three years, seemed all but done. But despite Bayer Leverkusen and Al Nassr reaching an agreement, the Saudi club made a sudden switch in plans and chose to sign Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran instead.
Speaking on The Culture League podcast, Boniface shared just how close he came to leaving, “I was ready. Bags packed. I live in Cologne, and we had already driven to Frankfurt,” he said.
He admitted the money involved was massive and revealed he had already given away many of his designer clothes and shoes to friends back home. “The flight was ready. I was in my hotel room praying for it to happen… but it just didn’t go through in the end.”
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
