He had interests from top European teams in the summer but snubbed them all to continue with the German champions as they mount a title defence this season.
Boniface hints at future league
Most clubs interested in Boniface were Premier League clubs, including those residents in London, but his recent interview may have delivered bad news to all of them.
“Premier League transfer? No... I don't really like the Premier League. I prefer Spanish or German football,” he told Sporty TV.
He further distanced himself from the allure of English football by claiming he doesn't have much interest in the German language but prefers to learn Spanish.
“Yeah, we speak English, but some of my teammates, like Nathan (Tella), attends German classes, but I don’t really have the time. The language is very difficult, but I wish him all the best. No worries, when it’s time to translate, he’ll help me.
“If it’s Spanish, I want to learn Spanish, but German? Not so much. I’d love to play in Spain someday.
According to ESPN, high-spending London club Chelsea have the former Royal Union Saint-Gilloise star as their number one striker target ahead of next summer's transfer window.
The Blues moved to Boniface after failing to land his compatriot Victor Osimhen last summer, and he joined Galatasaray from Napoli.
Buruk shares plan for Osimhen and Icardi
YEN.com.gh reported that Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk shared his plans for strikers Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi amid questions on how he wants to utilise them.
Fans and journalists have been wondering whether both will play together in a system that accommodates two strikers or they will be rotated and compete for minutes.
