Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is attracting interest from Spain and France. Once on Barcelona‘s radar, the Leicester City star is now a target for Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, and AS Monaco.
The 28-year-old has played a crucial role for Leicester City in recent years. Despite renewing his contract this summer, he is widely expected to leave at the end of the season.
Atletico Madrid is looking to strengthen their midfield and secure a long-term rotational player. The potential departure of Thomas Lemar has made this transfer a priority. The Madrid-based club has also been scouting alternative options, including Mallorca‘s Samu Costa. However, Ndidi‘s ability to break up play and provide defensive stability makes him a top candidate.
Real Betis is also showing strong interest in Ndidi. With Johnny Cardoso linked to a move to Tottenham Hotspur, Betis is searching for a reliable defensive midfielder.
Meanwhile, AS Monaco has been tracking Ndidi for a long time. The French club even made a £20 million bid for him during the winter transfer window, but Leicester City rejected the offer, prioritizing their fight for Premier League survival.
Ndidi has struggled with injury problems this season but has recently regained fitness and returned to regular action.
If the Nigerian midfielder regains top form, other big clubs may also enter the race for his signature.
