Arrived a year ago from the Royal Antwerp for 18.75 million euros, George Ilenikhena (18) experienced a first adaptation exercise to AS Monaco. While he had scored 14 goals in 50 games on the Belgium side, his first season in Ligue 1 ended with 6 goals and 2 offerings in 31 games (817 minutes played). Still young, the native of Lagos still showed interesting qualities with ASM and all his potential like this victorious goal against FC Barcelona on September 19 in the Champions League (2-1).
Also knowing some small physical seeds like this tear to adductors between January and February, the left -hander remains under contract until June 2029 with AS Monaco which counts on him for the future. However, the sports situation of the player who has to face the strong competition from Mika Biereth, Breel Embolo and Folarin Balogun in his game sector has pushed certain stables to follow the file more closely. Thus, four teams positioned themselves with the desire to obtain a loan with option to buy the player trained in Amiens.
Monaco closes the door
Stuttgart who saw El-Bilal Touré returning to Atalanta after his loan would see himself trying the bet George Ilenikhena. Especially since the Souabe club must deal with the interest of Bayern Munich for its scorer Nick Woltemade. Another German club, Bayer Leverkusen could try to strengthen his attack and thus add another profile to Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface. Two Bundesliga slopes for the 18 -year -old striker who also has touches in Spain.
Villarreal who saw Thierno Barry from Everton would like to strengthen himself in this sector of play. Finally in Italy, there is Fiorentina which is also on the spot. The Viola, who has Moisse Kean and Edin Dzeko in her ranks of Moise, saw M'Bala Nzola spin on the side of Pisa. Four options that are on the table, but that don't really interest AS Monaco since the club's position remains to keep George Ilenikhena to make it grow. The door is currently locked in double turn.
