Victor Boniface has revealed the rollercoaster drama behind his failed mega transfer to Saudi giants Al Nassr.

The Bayer Leverkusen star admitted the €70M offer was simply too good for the club to refuse, and with everything agreed, he was ready to start a new chapter. “I had my bags packed, I was set,” Boniface recalled.

In fact, so sure was he of the move, Boniface even gave away his designer outfits to friends before heading to Frankfurt Airport. “I was there, waiting and praying… but my village people said, ‘Let’s see how far you go,’ and last minute, everything collapsed,” he joked.

He hilariously revealed, “I had to call my friend like, ‘You remember that Louis Vuitton shirt I gave you?’”

A classic tale of “almost” in football — but with Boniface, you know the laughs are never missing.
