Rumour Mills: Galatasaray intensify pursuit of Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi

By Wale Mustapha

Turkish Super Lig champions, Galatasaray, have intensified their efforts to secure the signing of Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester City.

The Super Eagles star is set to become a free agent at the end of the month, as his contract with the Foxes is set to expire. Despite this, Leicester City remains hopeful of retaining the experienced midfielder and are working to secure a new contract with him.

According to transfer expert Nicolo Schira, Galatasaray has made a substantial offer to Ndidi, proposing a three-year contract with the option of an additional year. This move highlights the Turkish club’s strong interest in bringing the Nigerian international to their squad.

Ndidi joined Leicester City in 2017 and has since made a significant impact, recording 17 goals and 17 assists in 273 appearances across all competitions. His defensive prowess and consistent performances have made him a key player for the Foxes, and his potential departure will be a significant loss for the club.

As negotiations continue, it remains to be seen whether Ndidi will extend his stay at King Power Stadium or embark on a new chapter with Galatasaray.
