After netting 16 goals in all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen, it is no surprise all of Europe’s top clubs are keeping tabs on the Super Eagles forward and will tempt him with a mega bid to change teams.

Boniface is on the verge of making history with Leverkusen should they go on to win their first ever Bundesliga title as they lead Bayern Munich by eight points in the title race, but Sports Brief expects him to make a bigger move in the summer.

In one season, Boniface showed the football world that he was already a marquee striker and deserved to play for Europe's biggest teams.

Just like Boniface, Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso is attracting interest from some of Europe’s top teams owing to his robust style of play and success with the Bundesliga club.

Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich have all been credited with an interest in the Spanish manager and he looks certain to leave Leverkusen at the end of the season.

Boniface has adapted well to Alonso’s tactics, and a change at the helm could affect the Nigerian should he decide to stay at the Bundesliga club next season.
