Saudi Arabian money can influence even those forwards who shine in Europe.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Bayer Leverkusen forward Victor Boniface did not participate in the team's training. His representatives and the club are negotiating with Al Nassr for a transfer this winter.

Al Nassr initially targeted Jhon Duran, but he proved to be too expensive. Then the focus shifted to V. Boniface.

The Nigerian national team forward has scored 26 goals and provided 10 assists in 1.5 seasons representing the Bayer team. He has recently been outperformed by Czech player Patrik Schick.

The Al Nassr team is represented by Cristiano Ronaldo.
