Wilfred Ndidi Linked with Juventus as Exit Looms After Leicester Relegation
As the summer transfer window heats up, Wilfred Ndidi is once again making headlines — and this time, it's Serie A giants Juventus showing concrete interest in the Nigerian midfield general. With Leicester City’s relegation to the Championship last season, Ndidi has become a hot commodity on the transfer market, and top European clubs are circling.
According to transfer insider Ben Jacobs, Juventus have held internal talks about bringing the 28-year-old to Turin. Manchester United, Everton, and Real Betis are also believed to be monitoring the situation closely, while clubs in Saudi Arabia have reportedly made approaches of their own.
The Nigerian international has a £9 million release clause in his latest Leicester contract — a modest fee for a player with over 300 appearances and a reputation as one of the most reliable defensive midfielders in Europe when fit.
🗣️ Opinion: A Bargain Too Good to Ignore
Let’s face it — £9 million for Wilfred Ndidi is daylight robbery in today’s market. Despite Leicester’s fall from grace, Ndidi remains a world-class ball-winner, boasting elite stats in interceptions, tackles, and ground duels.
Juventus could view him as the perfect long-term successor to the aging legs of Adrien Rabiot or a complement to Manuel Locatelli in the engine room. His ability to break up play and transition from defense to attack would be a huge asset in the tactical battles of Serie A.
On the flip side, a club like Manchester United, constantly seeking midfield solidity, should think twice before letting this bargain slip. Even Everton, if they manage to offload Amadou Onana, could snap him up and rebuild around him.
One thing is clear — Ndidi deserves top-flight football, and at 28, the clock is ticking for him to make a major move and finally compete on a bigger European stage.
