Bayer Leverkusen have placed a €50 million price tag on Nigerian striker Victor Boniface as they prepare for potential summer transfer negotiations, according to German publication BILD.

The former Bundesliga champions are reportedly open to selling the Nigeria international despite his impressive contributions since joining from Belgian Pro League outfit Union Saint-Gilloise two years ago.

Premier League Interest Growing

Several Premier League clubs have shown interest in acquiring Boniface's services, with Newcastle United reportedly leading the pack of potential suitors. The Magpies are considering a move for the Nigerian forward to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.

Leverkusen's willingness to negotiate comes as they have already secured young forward Christian Kofane and intend to retain their other striker, Patrick Schick, suggesting a potential restructuring of their attacking lineup.

Successful Stint in Germany

Boniface has enjoyed a successful spell at Bayer Leverkusen since his arrival, helping the club secure a historic double in his debut season by winning both the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal titles.

The striker's combination of physical presence, technical ability, and eye for goal has made him a valuable asset for Die Werkself, but the club appears ready to cash in if their valuation is met.

With the transfer window approaching, Boniface could become the latest Nigerian talent to make a high-profile move to the Premier League, following in the footsteps of compatriots who have successfully transitioned to English football.
