Fiorentina is reportedly considering George Ilenikhena as an option to strengthen their squad, particularly following M'Bala Nzola's transfer to Pisa. The 18-year-old Nigerian striker, who is under contract with AS Monaco until June 2029, has caught the attention of various clubs such as Villarreal, Bayer Leverkusen, and VfB Stuttgart, due to his potential and goal-scoring prowess. Despite his promising performance, highlighted by a notable goal against FC Barcelona in the Champions League, Ilenikhena faces significant competition at Monaco from players like Mika Biereth, Breel Embolo, and Folarin Balogun. Fiorentina is reportedly viewing him as a potential addition alongside Moise Kean and Edin Dzeko. However, AS Monaco is eager to retain Ilenikhena, making any prospective transfer difficult, as the club is currently unwilling to part with him. Transfermarkt estimates the player's current market value at €15 million.
