Bayern had their eye on him: Italian prospect likely headed for a move to England

FC Bayern is, of course, always on the lookout for potential opportunities on the transfer market. That’s why the record champions are often linked with young talents. One such player now appears to be leaning toward a move to England. 

The player in question is the young defender Honest Ahanor. He was recently linked to FC Bayern once again. Real Madrid is also said to have been keeping an eye on him.

Ahanor, who currently plays for Atalanta, is considered one of the most promising young defenders in Italy and is also versatile. Quite a few believe he has what it takes to play a key role on the national team for the long term.

According to the editorial team of Italian transfer expert Gianluca di Marzio, Brighton and Hove Albion has now expressed interest.

Is Ahanor headed to England?

Although the report states that there has been no direct contact between the two clubs yet, the interest is considered confirmed and has been communicated to the player’s camp. Reports from Italy have repeatedly suggested that Ahanor’s departure this summer is a realistic possibility and that the player is ready for a new challenge.

The Seagulls are said to have already presented a clear plan for the player in discussions with his agent. Brighton is considered a very good destination in England for young players because the club operates and recruits with great attention to detail and strategic acumen. For this reason, a move to England currently appears to be a very realistic option.

Although a decision has not yet been made, it is currently considered virtually out of the question that Bayern is seriously in the running here. After all, other players take priority, and in defense—aside from Nathaniel Brown, whose transfer is considered a done deal—nothing will happen until a player is sold.
