Despite this long-term commitment, a potential future transfer is not entirely off the table. Leverkusen has reportedly set a minimum asking price of €50 million for the striker.
Boniface joined Leverkusen from Union Saint-Gilloise in 2023 for a fee exceeding €20 million. He made an immediate impact, contributing 29 goals and 11 assists in 49 competitive appearances.
While he has been hampered by injuries this season, missing eight games, he has still managed to score eight goals in 15 appearances across all competitions, adding one assist.
