It is a real mark of attention and confidence on the part of AS Monaco. According to our information, the Principality club refused a substantial offer of Stuttgart for George Ilenikhena. The latter amounted to the tune of 27 million euros bonus included, except that today, no question for the ASM to separate from its attacker, who arrived for a project over several years.
Recruited from Antwerp for around 19 million euros last summer, the 19 -year -old has a very important margin of progression, which Monaco wishes to exploit. Last season, Ilenikhena had made a place for himself in the rotation of Adi Hütter, playing 31 games in all competitions (6 goals), including 6 in the Champions League (2 goals, including 1 against Barça). We recently revealed to you that Leverkusen, Fiorentina but also Villarreal were also interested in the native of Lagos, but the ASM was very clear.
