Real Madrid Eyes Rising Nigerian Star in Defensive Lineup

Real Madrid are closely observing Nigerian-born defender Honest Ahanor, as reported by NAIJATAB.

Ahanor transferred to Atalanta from Genoa last summer and has emerged as a pivotal player at the Gewiss Stadium.

The adaptable defender has participated in 28 matches across all competitions for La Dea this season, and netted once.

He has also appeared frequently in the UEFA Champions League.

As per Sky Italia transfer specialist Gianluca Di Marzio, Real Madrid have been monitoring the player.

The LaLiga titans are gearing up for the anticipated exits of seasoned defenders David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger, and Ahanor is viewed as a perfect substitute.
