Nigerian international Victor Boniface has completed a season-long loan move to Bundesliga side Werder Bremen from Bayer Leverkusen for the 2025/26 campaign.
The 24-year-old forward joins Bremen after playing a vital role in Leverkusen’s title-winning season, where his goals and assists were central to their attacking success. The move offers Boniface more regular playing time while bolstering Bremen’s frontline as they aim for a strong domestic run.
Transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Bremen will cover part of the striker’s salary under the agreement with Leverkusen.
Speaking to Werder Bremen’s official website, Boniface expressed excitement about the switch. “The discussions with those in charge convinced me to make the move to Werder Bremen. I want to contribute to my performances to help us achieve our common goals this season. I’m looking forward to my new team and my time at Werder Bremen,” he said.
Head coach Horst Steffen praised the Nigerian’s qualities, describing him as a player who can transform Bremen’s attack. “Victor is physically incredibly strong, has a very good finish, and good pace. He shone as a goalscorer and assist provider in Bayer Leverkusen’s championship-winning season. I’m sure he can become a key player in our group this season,” Steffen noted.
Peter Niemeyer, Bremen’s Head of Professional Football, also welcomed the acquisition. “We are pleased that we were able to complete the loan and secure Victor’s services. He has consistently delivered outstanding performances in the Bundesliga, proving his qualities. We are convinced that he can continue that with us,” Niemeyer said.
This deal presents a new opportunity for Boniface, who aims to prove himself as a reliable goalscorer and spearhead Bremen’s bid for a top-half finish. Given his track record of both scoring and creating opportunities, supporters at the Weserstadion are optimistic that the Super Eagles striker will swiftly find his footing and contribute impactful performances.
