Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface has officially joined Bundesliga side Werder Bremen on a season-long loan for the 2025/26 campaign.
The Nigerian striker moves from Bayer Leverkusen, where he was part of their championship-winning squad, and is expected to bring attacking firepower to Bremen’s frontline.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Werder Bremen will cover part of the forward’s salary as part of the agreement.
Boniface expressed his enthusiasm about the move, telling the club’s official website: “The discussions with those in charge convinced me to make the move to Werder Bremen. I want to contribute with my performances to helping us achieve our common goals this season. I’m looking forward to my new team and my time at Werder Bremen.”
Head coach Horst Steffen believes Boniface will be a key asset:
“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.”
Peter Niemeyer, Head of Professional Football at Bremen, also praised the signing, adding:
“We are pleased that we were able to complete the loan and secure Victor’s services. He has shown outstanding performances in the Bundesliga and proven his qualities. We are convinced that he can continue that with us.”
The move marks a fresh start for Boniface, who will be eager to make an immediate impact and help Bremen push for a strong Bundesliga campaign.
