PSG make Boniface contact

By Daily Sports Nigeria on January 9, 2025

Paris Saint-Germain have initiated contact with the representatives of Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface about a potential move to the French capital, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

According to journalist Abdel Hamed, PSG’s sporting advisor Luis Campos began discussions with the Nigerian’s entourage in December as the French champions look to bolster their attacking options.

The 24-year-old, who helped Leverkusen secure a historic treble; Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and German Super Cup, in 2024, is currently in negotiations over a contract extension that would keep him at the German club until 2029 and make him one of their highest-paid players.

However, Boniface’s immediate focus is on recovering from a thigh injury that has kept him sidelined since November 2024. The striker has missed Leverkusen’s last nine matches and suffered a setback in his rehabilitation.

“Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed that Victor Boniface’s return to match action has been delayed due to a minor setback in his rehab phase,” Leverkusen-centred blog, WerkselfXtra posted via X.

Sky Sports News reporter, Marlon Irlbacher added, “As B04 reports, Victor Boniface’s return to play is delayed due to a small setback in the rehabilitation phase.”

Before his injury, the Super Eagles forward had made an impressive start to the season with eight goals and one assist in 15 appearances, following a remarkable 2023/2024 campaign that saw him win four Bundesliga Rookie of The Month awards and the Rookie of The Season trophy.

Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso recently discussed the competition for places between Boniface and Patrik Schick.

“What we want is that everyone is fighting for a position to get better and help the team,” Alonso told Germany-based Nigerian journalist Oma Akatugba.

“We want to have Boniface in good form as well. We want him fully fit so that he forgets his injuries, he is working hard on the pitch, and scoring goals.”

Manchester United are also monitoring Boniface’s situation, but PSG’s early moves could give them an advantage in securing the striker’s signature.

Currently valued at €45m, Boniface scored 21 goals and provided 10 assists in 34 appearances last season after joining Leverkusen from Royale Union SG.
