Juventus Monitoring Super Eagles’ Victor Boniface
Italian Serie A giants, Juventus, are reportedly monitoring Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Victor Boniface, who returned to league football on Saturday, April 6.
Victor Boniface has been one of the greatest revelations of the 2023-2024 season. In his debut German Bundesliga campaign, he scored a whopping 16 goals and provided nine assists in 23 league games.
The 23-year-old Nigeria international has been so superb that he won four consecutive Rookie of the Month awards in German Bundesliga.
Boniface’s prolific run this season was halted by an adductor injury, which kept him out of the Super Eagles of Nigeria’s 2023 AFCON squad.
After staying out of football for almost three months, Boniface made his first league appearance in 2024 during the second half of the game against Union Berlin on Saturday. The game ended 1-0 in favour of the German Bundesliga table-toppers.
Afterwards, Italian publication Forza Juve revealed that Juventus aims to sign Victor Boniface if Dusan Vlahovic leaves the Italian side this summer.
“Juventus are monitoring Bayer Leverkusen’s striker Victor Boniface (23),” the Italian publication wrote on X.
”Giuntoli appreciates him and Juve’s scouts have watched him during the last months. No offers or talks yet.
”He could become a target if an important offer arrives for Vlahović in the summer.”
Note that Victor Boniface is also being monitored by Napoli as a possible replacement for his countryman Victor Osimhen, who could leave the reigning Serie A giants this summer.
Super Eagles and Chippa United goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has been dealt a devastating blow, losing his mother barely two months after the passing of his father.
Nwabali shared the heartbreaking news on X on New Year’s day, writing, “Rip mom, worst year of my life already” accompanied by tears and heartbreak emojis.
This emotional post came just hours after he shared a 2024 recap video, expressing optimism for the new year.
“2024 was a good year, we’re doubling everything in 2025. Thank you Chippa United FC. Thank you Super Eagles. Thanks to all my fans. Let’s do more!” he had written earlier.
Nwabali’s father died in November, just hours after the goalkeeper helped the Super Eagles secure a crucial point in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin Republic.
The goalkeeper’s bravery on the field was evident as he manned the goalpost despite his personal loss.
His teammates, fans, and well-wishers rallied around him, offering condolences and support.
With the loss of both parents, Nwabali joins the likes of Victor Osimhen, who has also experienced the pain of losing both parents.
Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappé, shared a rare glimpse of his personal life during an interview with Mouloud Achour on Clique.
The 25-year-old addressed serious allegations about an alleged rape incident in Stockholm but captured attention with his reflections on love and relationships.
When asked about expressing love, the Les Bleus forward shared: “Yes, to my mother, my father, my little brother. I try to give them this affection every day.”
On romantic love, Mbappé revealed to Le Parisien: “Yes, in the past, I have already been in love and I hope that I will be again. But currently, no.”
