Victor Boniface, a Nigerian striker who spent just one season with Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the Belgian Pro League, appears to have other plans after an impressive first year.
The 22-year-old made a club-record €2 million transfer from Bodo Glimt to the Brussels-based squad at the beginning of the season, and since then, he has been in fantastic form, tallying 19 goals and dishing out eight assists across all competitions.
The Nigerian forward, who was born in Akure, has been in excellent form since relocating to Belgium and has drawn interest from a number of big European clubs, including Napoli, AC Milan, Lazio, Union Berlin, Eintracht Frankfurt, and others.
According to a Belgian publication, Voetbalnieuws, Union would consider offers for the 1.89m forward at the end of the season, but are hoping for a fee in the region of €20m.

“That the striker (Boniface) will leave after the season is therefore almost certain,” the website wrote.
“But not before Union passes the cash register. For example, amounts of up to €10m have already been mentioned.
“At SudPresshowever, inquiries were made in real estate circles and there it sounds that Boniface, partly due to his performance in Europe, can raise up to €20m.”
Boniface has been Union’s brightest star in their memorable adventure in Europe this term, with an impressive haul of five goals in eight games in the Europa League and he is one of the reasons they’ve made it so far to the quarter-finals of the competition, where they face Bayern Leverkusen on April 13 in the first leg.
