Leicester City yet to begin contract talks with Ndidi amid links with Man Utd, Aston Villa

Published: February 24, 2022

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Leicester City are yet to begin talks with Wilfred Ndidi over a new deal.

It has been claimed that the likes of Manchester United and Aston Villa are plotting summer moves for the Nigeria international.

The former Racing Genk midfielder has more than two years to run on his contract with the Foxes with the current agreement between club and player expiring at the end of the 2023-2024 season.

Manager Brendan Rodgers considers Ndidi one of the key members in his squad and the Super Eagles star is seen as a player with leadership qualities having worn the captain's armband for twenty five minutes in the FA Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest this month.

Given his importance to Leicester City, it cannot be ruled out that the club will attempt to open preliminary talks with the Nath Boys product over a new contract in the coming months.

Regarding reports linking him with Leicester City's Premier League rivals, it is understood that Ndidi has not been directly approached over a transfer.

A goalscorer in last week's Europa Conference League knockout round playoff first-leg tie against Randers, Ndidi is among the players that traveled to Scandinavia for the return leg this evening.
