On Sunday, Rodgers joined Celtic for a second spell after he was he was sacked as Manager of Leicester City with few games to end the just concluded English Premier League season.
The former Liverpool manager who worked with Ndidi at the King’s Power Stadium for three seasons will be looking go bolster his squad to defend the title won by Ange Postecoglu who left Tottenham last month.
Leicester City had an abysmal campaign last season, finishing 18th in the Premier League to suffer relegation to the Championship.
The Super Eagles’ midfielder who is also attracting interest from Saudi Arabia will relish the opportunity to work with Rodgers again who brought out the best in the Nigerian player.
The 27 year old Ndidi will also choose a move to Scotland over Saudi as its closer to England to allow him conclude his academic programs in the UK.
However, the £32m valuation on Ndidi may forced Celtic away from making the move for the former Genk player.
