José Mourinho is targeting Victor Boniface as part of Fenerbahçe’s ambitious plan to dethrone rivals Galatasaray.
Inspired by Victor Osimhen’s transformative impact in Turkish football, the iconic manager is eager to bring the Nigerian striker to Istanbul, alongside Bayer Leverkusen teammates Granit Xhaka and Alejandro Grimaldo, in a potential triple transfer swoop.
Boniface, 24, has lost his place at Leverkusen following a standout debut season in Germany. With new manager Erik ten Hag favoring Patrik Schick, the Nigerian forward is poised for a move.
Reports suggest Leverkusen would accept a €30 million fee for Boniface, a steal considering his three-year contract. Fenerbahçe’s sporting director, Devin Özek, is focused on assembling a squad capable of challenging for the Turkish Super Lig title.
Despite a less impressive 2024/25 campaign, Boniface still contributed 11 goals in 27 appearances across all competitions for the Bundesliga champions.
A move to Fenerbahçe could see the young striker reignite his career under Mourinho’s guidance, forming a formidable Nigerian duo with Osimhen to shake up Turkish football.
