Victor Boniface, the talented Super Eagles striker, has emerged as one of the top earners at Bayer Leverkusen. Reports suggest that he currently ranks as the fifth-highest-paid player at the German club, a testament to his rising influence and exceptional performances since joining the team.
Since arriving from Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer of 2023, Boniface has been a crucial figure in Leverkusen’s impressive campaign under manager Xabi Alonso. His adaptability, goal-scoring prowess, and link-up play have significantly strengthened the squad, making him one of the most important players in the team.
Boniface’s impact on the pitch has been remarkable, with an impressive tally of 21 goals and 10 assists in 34 appearances during his debut season. His attacking contributions have been vital in helping Leverkusen compete at the highest level, proving his worth as a top-class forward.
His performances played a key role in Leverkusen’s domestic dominance, as the club clinched both the Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal. Additionally, they made a strong run in European competition, reaching the UEFA Europa League final, where Boniface’s influence was evident throughout the campaign.
In total, the Nigerian international has amassed 31 goals and 11 assists in 52 matches for the German champions. These statistics highlight his consistency and goal-scoring ability, making him one of the most promising strikers in European football.
Given his impressive form, discussions surrounding his future have intensified. Leverkusen is reportedly in talks with Boniface over a potential contract renewal, as several clubs continue to monitor his progress. His current earnings at the club are estimated to be around €5 million per season (approximately ₦8 billion), placing him behind teammates Florian Wirtz, Nordi Mukiele, Patrick Schick, and Granit Xhaka.
Despite his lucrative salary, Boniface had the opportunity to secure an even more substantial contract with a move to Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr reportedly offered him a three-year deal worth €15 million per season during the winter transfer window. However, the deal fell through at the last moment, with the Saudi club ultimately signing Jhon Durán from Aston Villa instead.
