Atalanta have reportedly placed a €40 million valuation on Nigerian midfielder Honest Ahanor as interest in the player grows ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Serie A club is understood to be unwilling to entertain offers below the asking price, reflecting the high regard in which Ahanor is held and his importance to the team’s long-term plans.
Club officials are said to view the Nigerian as a key member of the squad and are prepared to retain his services unless an interested club submits an offer that meets their valuation.
The reported €40 million price tag signals Atalanta’s determination to avoid selling one of their promising talents at a reduced fee, despite increasing attention from clubs across Europe.
As the transfer window approaches, Ahanor is expected to remain a player closely monitored by potential suitors seeking to strengthen their midfield options.
While no formal agreement has been reached with any club, Atalanta’s position provides a clear indication of the financial terms required for negotiations to progress.
The midfielder’s performances have continued to enhance his reputation, making him one of the Nigerian players attracting significant interest in the European transfer market.
Any club hoping to secure Ahanor’s signature this summer is likely to face firm negotiations, with Atalanta determined to protect the player’s value while keeping open the possibility of retaining him for the upcoming season.
