Honest Ahanor, who made an early breakthrough at Atalanta, continues his meteoric rise at an impressive pace. Signed last summer from Genoa for €17 million, the young Nigerian defender quickly established himself in the rotation, both in Serie A and the Champions League.

Born in Italy but eligible for Nigeria, Ahanor is far from a typical defender. His versatility, power, composure on the ball and ability to push further up the pitch make him a highly sought-after profile. According to Sky, Bayern Munich and several Italian giants are closely monitoring his development.
In Munich, attention remains focused on internal matters, particularly Dayot Upamecano’s contract extension, but Ahanor’s name is certainly on the list. Atalanta, aware they have a diamond in the rough on their hands, are unlikely to let their star leave on the cheap. It would take more than €30 million, possibly even €40 million, to consider such an early exit.
