Victor Boniface is exploring the possibility of leaving Bayer Leverkusen during the January transfer window, with the Super Eagles striker struggling for regular playing time at the Bundesliga club this season.
According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, the 25-year-old wants to leave Leverkusen, with the German club also prepared to sanction his departure, either on loan or through a permanent transfer.
Two enquiries have reportedly been made, with discussions surrounding his situation becoming increasingly concrete.
Boniface has made just three competitive appearances for Leverkusen this season, accumulating only 15 minutes of playing time across all competitions. The Nigerian international is currently the club’s third-choice striker, falling behind Patrik Schick and Christian Kofane in the pecking order.

The forward also spent the first half of last season away from Leverkusen, joining Werder Bremen on loan. However, his spell was cut short by an injury that ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign. He managed 11 appearances and provided two assists during his time at the club.
A potential January departure could offer Boniface an opportunity to revive his career and rediscover the form that established him as one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting strikers.
During his first two seasons at Leverkusen, the Nigerian recorded 32 goals and 10 assists in 61 appearances, helping the club win the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and German Super Cup.
Before moving to Germany, Boniface enjoyed an impressive 2022/23 campaign with Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise, scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists in 51 appearances.
He also previously played for Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt, where he registered 23 goals and seven assists in 66 appearances, winning the Norwegian league title twice.
A move in January could therefore represent an important opportunity for Boniface to secure regular football and get his career back on track.
