Ex-Frankfurt star praises Boniface for handling failed Al Nassr move

Posted : 03 February 2025

Bayer Leverkusen captain Lukas Hradecky has commended Victor Boniface for his strong reaction following a challenging week after a failed transfer to Al Nassr.


Boniface, previously with Union Saint-Gilloise, was the subject of a high-profile transfer that would have seen him join Cristiano Ronaldo at the Saudi Arabian club. However, the move fell through when Al Nassr chose Jhon Duran over Boniface, leaving the Nigerian forward disappointed.


Despite this setback, Boniface made an immediate impact on his return to action, scoring a crucial goal in Leverkusen’s 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim. The goal came after a three-month injury layoff, and his performance demonstrated his resilience and focus.


Hradecky, who has observed Boniface closely during this difficult time, praised the mental strength displayed by the 23-year-old. The goalkeeper acknowledged that it’s natural to be affected by such a failed move but was impressed by how Boniface managed to bounce back.


“I have to praise Boniface after the turbulent week,” Hradecky said. “In my view, it’s legitimate that when an offer like that comes along, you have to think about what you’re going to do. It’s impressive how he came back now, the goal helped.”


Boniface’s goal came in the 15th minute, taking advantage of a precise pass from Alejandro Grimaldo to score. Despite Leverkusen being reduced to 10 men later in the game, Boniface’s early contribution played a key role in securing all three points.


The goal against Hoffenheim is expected to give Boniface a confidence boost ahead of Leverkusen’s upcoming DFB-Pokal quarter-final against FC Koln, as the team continues its strong push in both domestic and cup competitions.
