Boniface's Leverkusen future takes another turn ahead of January window

Victor Boniface's future at Bayer Leverkusen is becoming increasingly uncertain, with developments ahead of the January transfer window pointing towards a possible departure.

Boniface pushes for January exit

Nigerian striker Victor Boniface wants to leave Bayer Leverkusen when the January transfer window opens, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

The 25-year-old has struggled for regular playing time this season and has fallen to third place in the club's striker pecking order.

Leverkusen are reportedly prepared to let him leave, with a loan move also being considered as a possible solution.

According to Plettenberg, two clubs have already made enquiries about the forward, suggesting that interest in his situation is beginning to develop.

Leverkusen open to letting Nigerian striker go

Boniface remains under contract with the Bundesliga club until 2028, but his limited involvement has made a winter departure an increasingly realistic possibility.

The striker previously spent time on loan at Werder Bremen before returning to Leverkusen, but he has yet to establish himself in the team's plans this season.

A move in January could offer Boniface an opportunity to secure more regular football, while Leverkusen would have the option of allowing him to leave temporarily or permanently.
