Victor Boniface: Bayer Leverkusen CEO Suggests Potential Exit for Big Player Amidst Historic Season

• Bayer Leverkusen's CEO has hinted at potential player sales to fund new signings
• The club's successful season under Xabi Alonso has attracted interest in key players
• Nigerian striker, Victor Boniface, has been linked with moves to Italian club Napoli

Bayer Leverkusen's CEO, Fernando Carro, has hinted at the possibility of selling a key player in the upcoming transfer window to facilitate the acquisition of new talent.

Under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, the club has enjoyed its most successful season to date, remaining the only unbeaten team across Europe's top five leagues.

The team recently clinched their maiden Bundesliga title with a resounding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen at the Bay Arena.

Die Werkself won the title with five games to spare, amassing an impressive 79 points from 29 matches.

Alonso's adept management has seen a blend of emerging talents and seasoned players excel, attracting interest from top European clubs.

Nigerian Victor Boniface is one such figure. The Super Eagles striker has been instrumental in the Spaniard's system, leading them to their maiden Meisterschale win. Despite missing the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) due to injury, he bounced back stronger, and has bagged 11 goals and eight assists in 18 league matches, as reported by the Bundesliga.

Despite their triumphs this season, Leverkusen remains financially prudent, with their record signing at €32 million for Kerem Demirbay in 2019.

The club anticipates the need for squad reinforcements in the summer transfer window, prompting Carro to suggest that player sales may be necessary to support new signings. Should an enticing offer be tabled for Boniface, valued at €50 million, the club may consider parting ways with him.
