He is only 18 years old and is already shaking the Spanish capital. Indeed, Real Madrid closely follows Honest Ahanor, the defender of Atalanta Bergamo. After a summer of 2025 marked by his transfer from Genoa for 25 million euros, Ahanor quickly showed his progress this season with 28 appearances in all competitions. Despite his defensive profile, he has already scored a goal and seems to become an indisputable starter under the orders of Raffaele Palladino. While knowing that the left-hander also made his international debut for Italy Under-21 on March 31 against Sweden.
Thanks to an imposing physique and atypical dynamism, the Italian-Nigerian is already establishing himself as one of the most promising young talents in Italian football in Serie A. His early experience with the current seventh in the Italian championship could well make the difference. Considering a transfer in the next few windows cannot be ruled out in Madrid. The objective is to get ahead of European clubs in this matter. It remains to be seen whether its market value will cool in Spain… a check for around 25 million euros is expected.
