The battle over the future of so many players will no doubt spark a bidding war by several teams who are keen on improving certain areas in their team with specific players.
Nigerian players won’t be left out of the frenzy in the summer as some players are already linked to a host of teams ahead of the transfer window. Among them is red hot striker Victor Boniface.
Boniface is wanted by several top teams in Europe after a highly successful season in Belgium with Union Saint-Gilloise. At a time he was the top scorer in the UEFA Europa League with six goals, in the Belgium league he has seven goals and seven assists in 31 games.
Reports have it that AC Milan, Lazio and Napoli have already made contact with his camp and will have no problem matching his €10m price tag. But it appears German side RB Leipzig are not going to let the Italian sides have a clear run at him.
According to Sky Sports Germany, the German side have on loan Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun as their main target but won’t be open to paying the €40m that the English side wants for the 21 year old. That has now made a move for Boniface more of an option with the club not just looking at him as a potential replacement for the departing Christopher Nkunku.
He is seen as a separate case and will blossom into a target man of high repute in few years time. One thing is certain for Boniface and it is that he won’t be at the Belgium side next season.
