Bayer Leverkusen are closing in on an agreement with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr over the sale of striker Victor Boniface. Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso confirmed that the Nigeria international missed training ahead of Wednesday's Champions League match against Sparta Prague as Al-Nassr work to finalize agreements both with the German champions and Boniface.

A Nigerian man said Victor Boniface's reported move to Al-Nassr was a good development. According to the man, if Boniface decides to accept the offer, it would be worth it because it is a good financial decision. Boniface is reportedly moving to Al-Nassr in a mouthwatering deal worth €60 million as he will be earning €15 million per year.

Al Nassr are looking to sign Victor Boniface to bolster their attack, which already features Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane.

Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso said Wednesday that Nigerian striker Victor Boniface is set to stay at the club following reports of a possible transfer to Saudi Arabia.
