Victor Boniface is now the highest earning Nigerian football star after he agreed a transfer to top Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr that will pay him 15 Million Euros a year.
He has thus toppled close friend and fellow Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen, who is on 12 Million Euros a year, on the big-money chart.
His club Bayer Leverkuesen are equally smiling all the way to the bank as they will receive more than 60 Million Euros for this transfer.
This is thrice what they paid Belgian club Union St.Gilloise in the summer of 2023 for the striker.
Victor Boniface will also play alongside his ‘GOAT’ Cristiano Ronaldo and one-time CAF Player of the Year Sadio Mane at Al Nassr.
Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg reported the player’s sensational transfer to Saudi Arabian has been completed after the financials were agreed with both player and club.
“Victor #Boniface will join @AlNassrFC with immediate effect!” he posted on X
“Total agreement with Bayer 04 Leverkusen now has been reached about a final transfer fee of more than €60m. Verbal agreement was done.
“€15m net per season as revealed today."
“24 years old striker has already passed his medical with Al-Nassr.”
