Leicester City have turned down a €7m offer from Besiktas for midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, as reported by Turkish outlet Takvim.
The 28-year-old Nigerian international, who has a €9m release clause in his contract, is a target for the Turkish club this summer, but Leicester are firm on their valuation and unwilling to accept a lower fee.
Ndidi, whose contract at the King Power Stadium runs until 2027, has also attracted interest from top European clubs, including Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund, and Juventus. Besiktas are expected to submit an improved bid to secure the dynamic midfielder’s services.
The Super Eagles midfielder joined Leicester from KRC Genk in January 2017 and has since become a key figure for the Foxes, improving from a one-dimensional defensive midfielder to a box-to-box creative force.
Ndidi was one of the shining lights for the Foxes in what was an abysmal 2024-25 season in the English top-flight.
