<p>Bayer Leverkusen manager <a target="_blank" href="https://gistreel.com/tag/xabi-alonso"><strong><u><b>Xabi Alonso</b></u></strong></a> has described <a target="_blank" href="https://gistreel.com/tag/victor-boniface"><strong><u><b>Victor Boniface’s</b></u></strong></a> collapsed move to <strong>Al-Nassr</strong> as “a bit strange.”</p>
<p>Alonso also lauded the Nigerian striker’s response after making a goalscoring return from injury.</p>
<p>Boniface, who joined Leverkusen from Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer of 2023, has been in sensational form, scoring 30 goals and providing 11 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions.</p>
<p>His performances attracted interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, with reports suggesting that a deal had been agreed between the clubs.</p>
<p>However, the transfer fell through, with <strong>Al-Nassr instead signing Jhon Duran from Aston Villa</strong>.</p>
<p>Despite the setback, Boniface returned from a two-month injury layoff in style, netting the opener in Leverkusen’s 3-1 win over Hoffenheim.</p>
<p>After the game, Alonso acknowledged the awkwardness of Boniface’s transfer situation but praised his mentality.</p>
<p>“It was an important moment for him after his injury,” Alonso told Bild. “The situation last week was a bit strange, uncomfortable.</p>
<p>“It was important that Boni felt important again. He should feel the love of the fans—that’s good for his head,” he added.</p>
