Mixed Reactions as Boniface Stays in Europe

Nigerian striker Victor Boniface stays with Bayer Leverkusen despite interest from Al-Nassr. This has sparked lots of reactions and comments from fans and commentators.

Social media commentator Daniel Regha tweeted, “Boniface not going to Saudi is great news, his focus should be in Europe; Joining Al-Nassr would’ve been a b@d call. His focus should be him playing to the best of his ability, against the best players in the game, to boost his career. Best wishes to him.”

His tweet was trying to point out that playing at the highest level in Europe is key to career growth and not at AI-Nassr. Some fans agreed with his point – that staying in Europe offers more opportunities and exposure while some disagreed which brought lots of reactions.

CelebrityNote has gathered some of them

@thecrown_boy said, “Facts! Staying in Europe keeps him in the spotlight, competing at the highest level. The big money can wait, legacy first 🔥⚽ But I’ll choose money over legacy too 🤝”

@dubbyofph noted, “THAT IS NOT GREAT NEWS!!! HE WOULD HAVE BEEN TEAMMATES WITH RONALDO WHILE EARNING A SHIT TON OF MONEY”

@anasuachara said, “He would have gone to the Saudi Arabia league. Football is business and once there is an opportunity to cash out, pursue it, grab it and run with it”.

@gwaniforlife agreed, “Boniface has made the right decision—one that any ambitious footballer seeking greatness would take. A player of his caliber deserves to be in a top club in the Premier League or La Liga where he can express himself fully on the biggest stage. Joining Saudi Arabia just for the pay or to play with his idol, Ronaldo—who had already achieved everything before making the move—would be a bad career move. Football should be about passion, legacy and competition not just money.”

@ekeyi_ said, “Whatever his reasons are best known to him oo. Bet he should have gone for the bag 💰 Imagine doing what you have passion for and getting paid heavily! Sentiments keeps people bound anyways”

At the moment, Al-Nassr might be looking to get Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran.
