The top Saudi Arabian clubs are willing to offer €50 million (₦80.3 billion), which is the only amount that Bayer Leverkusen would consider.
There is interest from Saudi Arabia and Premier League clubs in Victor Boniface. Some of the people involved think that a move to the desert could get concrete before deadline day. Bayer 04 do not consider Boniface to be unsellable, but they want at least €50m.

Additionally, they would increase his €3 million annual pay, which is very alluring to any player, particularly one from a less affluent family.
They are even optimistic that a decision will be made before the winter transfer window closes.
Saudi Arabia's strategy of lavishing large sums of money on players in mainstream Europe has helped them gain international recognition in the previous three years.
As it stands, a decision has not been made and it is yet to be seen if the transfer move will materialise this January.
