Victor Boniface has been presented as a potential signing to Aston Villa towards the end of the January transfer window. Bayer Leverkusen is open to selling Boniface following an unsuccessful transfer attempt to Al-Nassr. The Saudi Pro League club had reached an agreement with Bayer for a deal exceeding £50 million; however, they have now opted to abandon that move and are nearing the completion of a transfer for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran. Consequently, Boniface has been offered to several Premier League clubs, such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Chelsea, in addition to Aston Villa. Bayer had anticipated the second half of the season without him and remains willing to sell him.
