Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr have initiated formal negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen for Nigerian striker Victor Boniface, who is being considered as a replacement for Anderson Talisca.
Renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Monday that Boniface is a top target for Al Nassr, alongside Aston Villa’s Jhon Durán.
However, Aston Villa are reportedly unwilling to part with Durán, which has intensified Al Nassr’s pursuit of Boniface.
A delegation from Al Nassr has reportedly traveled to Germany to engage in discussions with Bayer Leverkusen and the player’s representatives, as the Saudi Pro League club looks to secure a deal for the in-form striker.
“Understand Al Nassr delegation is now in Germany to negotiate with both player side and Bayer Leverkusen. Talks underway, as revealed.
Boniface and Jhon Durán are the two main names on Al Nassr list,” Romano posted on X on Monday.
Meanwhile, Talisca is set to leave Al Nassr, with the Brazilian forward already on his way to Istanbul to finalise a move to Fenerbahçe.
