Manchester United are closely monitoring the development of Honest Ahanor, a 17-year-old Nigerian defender at Atalanta. The club faces competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, with Chelsea considered to have a strong interest. According to sources within the agent industry, Chelsea might be prepared to make a bid of around €60 million. The centre-back moved from Genoa in the summer for a reported fee of €16 million and has also attracted interest from Napoli, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid. Atalanta are in a strong negotiating position as Ahanor's contract runs until 2028. Reports in November 2025 stated that Atalanta's asking price was €40 million. This season, Ahanor has made 8 appearances in Serie A, and his current market value on Transfermarkt is €20.00m.
