Saudi Pro League side, Al-Ahli, are reportedly weighing up a £9 million move for Wilfred Ndidi, as the Nigerian midfielder becomes a hot commodity in the ongoing summer transfer window, TalkTalk Nigeria reports.

The 28-year-old Leicester City star could be on the move thanks to a relegation release clause embedded in the new deal he signed with the club last summer. With just two years remaining on his current contract, the clock is ticking for the Foxes to cash in.

🔁 Transfer Tug-of-War: Saudi vs. Europe

While Al-Ahli are keen to bring Ndidi to the Middle East, the battle for his signature is heating up, with Manchester United, Everton, and Fenerbahce all tracking his situation closely.

🔴 Manchester United are said to admire Ndidi’s defensive consistency and physicality, especially as they restructure their midfield under Ruben Amorim.
🔵 Everton, facing midfield reinforcement needs, see him as a solid Premier League-proven option.
🟡 Fenerbahce, fresh off a strong domestic run, are eager to bolster their squad for European competition.

📈 A Proven Asset

Ndidi joined Leicester City from Genk in January 2017 and quickly became one of the Premier League’s most reliable defensive midfielders, known for his:

💪 Ball-winning ability
🔒 Positional discipline
⚡ Stamina and pressing instincts

Despite injuries in recent seasons and Leicester’s relegation battle, Ndidi remains highly respected, especially among Nigerian fans and coaches alike.

💬 Opinion — Is Saudi the Right Move for Ndidi?

At 28, Ndidi still has years of top-level football ahead. While a move to the cash-rich Saudi Pro League could provide financial comfort and a fresh start, many fans believe he still has unfinished business in European football.

For a player once linked with Europe’s elite, settling for a Saudi move might seem premature — unless European offers fail to match the Foxes’ demands or his wage expectations.

Still, with his form regaining momentum, this summer might be Ndidi’s best window for a high-profile move — one that could either revive his career at the highest level or provide long-term financial security.

🔍 One thing is clear: Wilfred Ndidi’s future is up for grabs, and clubs will need to act fast before the £9m clause becomes a bargain too tempting to ignore.
