Wilfred Ndidi is once again at the center of transfer discussions, but this time, nothing appears to be moving fast. Despite interest from big-name clubs, Leicester’s midfielder remains firmly involved with his current team’s preparations for the new season — www.isagoal.com reports.
Soccernet.ng mentioned that links to Manchester United and Juventus had initially gained traction but have recently gone quiet.
At 28, Ndidi had an underwhelming season with Leicester City, which ended in relegation from the Premier League. Still, his individual contributions stood out, even in a struggling squad.
With Leicester dropping to the Championship, Ndidi’s release clause reportedly fell to €9 million, making him a bargain for potential suitors.
The Nigerian midfielder has since attracted attention from multiple clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, and Everton.
However, none of those interested teams have submitted an official bid or made any move toward sealing a deal.
Ndidi has continued to train and play with Leicester during pre-season, featuring in matches against Leuven, Zalaegerszegi, and Karpaty Lviv.
“His continued inclusion signals he might not be heading anywhere,” a source close to the club hinted.
Coach Marti Cifuentes has kept faith in Ndidi throughout pre-season, suggesting the player remains central to his plans.
If the club truly expected a departure, they wouldn’t risk building a squad around someone with one foot out the door.
Ndidi still has two years left on his current deal, so Leicester is under no pressure to offload him quickly.
The Foxes are still set to play two more tune-up games before kicking off the Championship season against Sheffield Wednesday on August 10.
