Besiktas, Galatasaray, Trabzonspor interested in Leicester City midfielder Ndidi
Published: June 14, 2024Three Turkish football clubs are reportedly locked in a fierce competition to secure the signature of Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, whose contract with Leicester City is set to expire by June 2024.
The 27-year-old defensive midfielder has been a stalwart for Leicester City since joining the club in 2017.
However, with his contract nearing its end, Ndidi seems poised for a potential departure from the King Power Stadium.
According to Fanatik, Leicester City have been unable to convince Ndidi to extend his stay, paving the way for Turkish clubs to enter the fray.
Trabzonspor, Beşiktaş, and Galatasaray are among the interested parties in the Super Lig.
Trabzonspor, keen on bolstering both their forward line and midfield options, have expressed interest in Ndidi along with Paul Onuachu.
The Black Sea Storm are reportedly determined to secure Ndidi's services and have presented an enticing offer, including a substantial signing bonus.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray has made a compelling offer of a three-plus-one-year contract in a bid to sway Ndidi to choose them over other suitors.
Ndidi's tenure at Leicester City has been marked by consistent performances, making him a sought-after asset in the transfer market.
The Nigerian international played 36 matches last season, contributing six goals and six assists to the Foxes' campaign.
In addition to his club exploits, Ndidi has also been a key figure for the Nigerian national team.
He featured prominently in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, starting recently against South Africa and the Benin Republic.
