Bayer Leverkusen prepare bid for Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi

Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi is anticipated to leave the club this transfer window and has received strong interest from Germany, according to GiveMeSport journalist Ben Jacobs.

Several unnamed Bundesliga clubs have shown interest in the Nigerian midfielder, with Bayer Leverkusen emerging as the latest team to make inquiries.

Speculation surrounding Granit Xhaka’s future at Leverkusen suggests the club may need to secure a new defensive midfielder to fill a potential void.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have engaged in discussions and explored personal terms with Ndidi’s representatives, though their primary focus remains signing a new No.9. Adding a midfielder may hinge on United moving players out of that position first.

Everton, alongside Crystal Palace and Fulham, have also approached the 28-year-old, while Real Betis, Juventus, and Saudi Pro League clubs, including Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr, and NEOM SC, are in the mix.

Ndidi’s contract reportedly includes a £9 million (€10.4m) release clause triggered by Leicester’s relegation to the Championship

Meanwhile, another Nigerian in the news, Victor Osimhen, is edging closer to completing his long-awaited move to Galatasaray.

According to reports, the deal should be completed within the next week.
