Leverkusen say Boniface will stay amid Saudi bid
Briefly

Xabi Alonso, the coach of Bayer Leverkusen, has confirmed that Nigerian striker Victor Boniface will remain at the club despite transfer rumors linking him to Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr. Following a Champions League win, Alonso expressed satisfaction with Boniface's situation and indicated he is expected to play in the upcoming Bundesliga match. The reports of a €70 million transfer fee had raised concerns about his departure, but Alonso reassured fans that Boniface is comfortable and focused on training and playing for Leverkusen.
He is comfortable here, so I don't believe that this is a big stress for him.
The apparent collapse of a possible Boniface transfer could remove one obstacle for a move to Saudi Arabia for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran.
