Money or nothing - Liverpool legend reveals why Boniface will move to Al-Nassr

Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has offered his thoughts on why Victor Boniface would agree to move to Al Nassr during the ongoing January transfer window.

Boniface has been the subject of transfer speculation in recent days, following Al Nassr's bid for the forward.

The Saudi Arabian club is in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen and Boniface's representatives to complete the transaction before the February 3 deadline.

The Super Eagles star consented to the Saudi Arabian club negotiating a deal, following the club's interest.

In an ESPN interview, Nicol clarified that Boniface would probably find the possible offer too alluring to reject.

He said, "It is definitely an individual decision," Nicol said. "But when the amount of money is put in front of you, it is very difficult to turn it down. I will suggest that Boniface has had his share of injuries already and he's only 24. 

"And apart from the money maybe he's thinking, I maybe cannot turn this down because  I might never get the opportunity again or get anywhere close it to."

He pointed out that this possibility might not present itself again due to the player's injury history and the unpredictability of future offers.

Given his remarkable progress in the Bundesliga at the age of 24, many have been surprised by the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia.

Boniface has been in outstanding form since joining Leverkusen from Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer of 2023. In 49 games across all competitions, he has scored 29 goals.

Given how quickly the transfer window is closing, Boniface's choice could have a significant effect on the Saudi Pro League and his future.
