Ex-Scotland and Liverpool right-back, Stephen Nicol, has urged Super Eagles and Bayer 04 Leverkusen striker, Victor Okoh Boniface, to join Saudi-based side, Al-Nassr, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 24-year-old joined Die Werkself<\/em> from Union Saint-Gilloise, and immediately got the Bay Arena running, winning three consecutive Rookie of the Month Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n Boniface ended the 2023\/2024 season with the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal titles, scoring 21 goals and providing 10 assists. His stellar displays have now drawn interest from Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>\u2018s Al-Nassr<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nicol, who donned Liverpool\u2019s colours between 1981 and 1994, urged Boniface to take the bold step of ditching Europe for more money in Saudi Arabia, as he\u2019s been offered a yearly salary of around \u20ac15m.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt is definitely an individual decision, but when the amount of money is put in front of you, it is very difficult to turn it down. I will suggest that Boniface has had his share of injuries already and he\u2019s only 24, and apart from the money maybe he\u2019s thinking, I maybe cannot turn this down because \u00a0I might never get the opportunity again or get anywhere close it to,\u201d the 63-year-old said in an interview with ESPN UK<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Bundesliga commentator, Derek Rae, also urged Leverkusen to cash in on the former Union Saint-Gilloise striker, in a bid to find a younger and cheaper replacement.<\/p>\n \u201cIt does look like the deal will happen and you can\u2019t really blame Bayer Leverkusen. I\u2019m hearing the fees could be more than 60 million euros. He\u2019s been injured and with this offer comes the chance to re-invest that money and find a younger replacement because they need to patch things up on other sides of the pitch as well,\u201d the 57-year-old chimed in.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Super Eagles forward last played a football match in November having suffered a thigh injury. He recently returned to first tream training with Leverkusen, but he\u2019s yet to make an appearance on the pitch this year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/imago1053430475-1024x683.jpg\")
