Victor Boniface Eyes January Exit From Bayer Leverkusen Over Limited Playing Time

Posted : 13 November 2026

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface is reportedly considering leaving Bayer Leverkusen during the January 2027 transfer window in search of regular first-team football.

The Nigerian international has struggled to secure a consistent role in Leverkusen's attacking setup this season. He has reportedly dropped to third choice among the club's strikers, raising concerns about his long-term prospects at the Bundesliga side.

Leverkusen are understood to be open to allowing the 25-year-old forward to leave if a suitable opportunity emerges. A loan arrangement is also being considered as a possible solution to his lack of playing time.

According to reports, two clubs have already made enquiries about his availability. Discussions surrounding a potential departure are reportedly gaining momentum ahead of the January transfer window.

Boniface's situation has also been affected by his limited involvement in competitive matches this season. Bundesliga records show that he has made two league appearances without scoring or providing an assist in the 2026/27 campaign.

His position at the club became more complicated following an incident during Leverkusen's 4-3 Bundesliga victory over Mainz in October. The Nigerian striker reportedly headed down the tunnel after remaining an unused substitute, prompting discussions involving head coach Carles Martínez and the club's management.

Boniface previously enjoyed an impressive spell at Leverkusen, scoring 32 goals and providing 11 assists in 64 appearances before his loan move to Werder Bremen in September 2025. However, injuries and limited opportunities have disrupted his progress since then.

A January departure could provide the 25-year-old with an opportunity to rebuild his confidence and regain the regular playing time needed to compete at the highest level.

For Leverkusen, allowing the striker to leave could also create room to adjust their attacking options during the second half of the season.

Boniface's immediate priority will be finding a club where he can secure consistent appearances and rediscover the form that established him as one of Nigeria's promising attacking players in European football.
