Report : Leicester City could sell Super Eagles star this summer amid interest from other clubs

Published: March 16, 2022

According to reports, Leicester City could be parting company with at least one of their key players this summer.

The Daily Mail claims that Belgium star Youri Tielemans is likely to depart the King Power Stadium as he has approximately one year to run on his contract and his midfield partner Wilfred Ndidi is on the radar of other clubs.

The Nigeria international would have spent five and a half years at Leicester City at the end of the current season and is contracted to the club until June 30, 2024.

Ndidi has been linked with several other Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Arsenal and Aston Villa, while the likes of Real Madrid and PSG have been mentioned as possible destinations should he make a move.

Signed from Racing Genk in January 2017 for a fee in the region of 15 million pounds, the Super Eagles number 4 is currently valued at £50.4m by Transfermarkt but his asking price could be more than that.

The 25-year-old is regarded as one of the top tacklers in the Premier League and is rarely caught out of position.

Ndidi is surely set to be among the first names on the team sheet as Nigeria face Ghana in back-to-back matches in the World Cup playoff later this month.
