However, Leverkusen have shown no inclination to entertain offers for Boniface, especially considering his importance to their squad. The German club value the 23-year-old striker at €40 million (£34m/$43.28m), viewing him as a cornerstone of their future plans. Moreover, with Boniface contracted until 2028, Leverkusen hold a position of strength in any potential negotiations, which means that Chelsea would need to make a substantial financial offer to secure his signature.
