Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi could be on the move this summer, with Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli showing strong interest in the Leicester City star.
Ndidi has also been linked with top European clubs like Manchester United, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Everton, and Bayer Leverkusen, but no formal bids have materialized.
According to reports, Al Ahli aim to capitalize on a £9 million release clause in Ndidi’s contract, triggered by Leicester’s relegation to the Championship.
Despite the transfer speculation, the 28-year-old has remained professional, actively participating in Leicester’s pre-season.
The Saudi club, also targeting Tottenham’s Yves Bissouma and Bilal El Khannouss, see Ndidi as a key addition to bolster their midfield.
After eight years at Leicester, where Premier League title hopes are dim, Ndidi may be open to a new challenge. A move to Al Ahli could bring a significant salary increase, surpassing his current £4 million annual earnings at Leicester.
