Bayer Leverkusen managing director Simon Rofles has confirmed Victor Boniface’s proposed move to Al Nassr is off.
Al Nassr reached agreement with Die Werkself to sign the Nigeria international earlier this week.
The Saudi club however cancelled the deal on Wednesday and opted to sign Aston Villa and Colombia striker Jhon Duran instead.

Leverkusen were set to rake in €60m from the transfer.
The deal would have also made Boniface the highest paid Nigerian football star in history.
“There have been talks, but we are happy that he will be training with us today. I assume that he will stay,” Rofles said.
“He feels comfortable here, his attitude towards the club is unchanged”.
