Victor Boniface has completed his medical at Werder Bremen, clearing the way for a loan move from Bayer Leverkusen before tonight’s deadline. Final contract details are being tied up after the clubs reached an agreement in principle, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The 22-year-old Nigerian striker became a late-window target for Bremen as they looked to add punch up front. If fit, he brings power, hold-up play, and a direct threat in the box—exactly the profile the Green-Whites have lacked.
This switch arrives after a proposed loan to AC Milan collapsed earlier in the summer. Softfootball reported that Boniface failed multiple medicals there due to ongoing concern around a knee with a history of ACL injuries. That risk hasn’t vanished, but Bremen believe the upside is worth it on a temporary deal.
Fabrizio Romano reported that the striker has passed his medical on his official X account with a short message.
He posted:
“Victor Boniface has just completed his medical tests at Werder Bremen.”
Talks accelerated on deadline day. Internal discussions at Bremen turned into formal contact with Leverkusen, and the sides quickly aligned on a loan framework. Boniface then underwent tests on the Weser and passed, leaving only paperwork between him and a move to the Weserstadion.
Bremen view it as a smart, opportunistic play; Leverkusen get their forward minutes elsewhere while protecting value; and Boniface gets a chance to reset his season. Barring a late twist, the announcement should follow once documents are signed.
