Frankfurt discusses with Monaco for George Ilenikhena!

Arriving at AS Monaco from Belgium with the label of future crack, George Ilenikhena (19 years old) is experiencing a contrasting 2025-2026 season to say the least. Lacking playing time on the Rock (13 appearances – 2 goals in L1 for 291 minutes of playing time), the Franco-Nigerian striker could bounce back in the Bundesliga.

According to our information, Stuttgart is still interested, but today it is Eintracht Frankfurt, which was already following last summer, which is the hottest. Discussions currently concern a loan with a purchase option of more than €25 million. If the amount is considered interesting by the ASM, the Monegasque staff for the moment favors a direct transfer to recover cash immediately. Negotiations continue.
