Turkish giants Beลiktaล have lodged a โฌ9.5 million bid to sign Nigerian international midfielder Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester City, and personal terms for a three year contract are reportedly being finalised. The move follows Leicester’s relegation and aims to reunite Ndidi with compatriot Victor Osimhen in the Super Lig.
Ndidi, aged 28, has been a key fixture in Leicesterโs midfield since joining in 2017 from Genk. He has made over 300 club appearances, contributed significantly in their 2021 FA Cup victory, and remains one of Nigeria’s most consistent defensive midfielders.
Negotiations between Leicester and Beลiktaล are advancing, and Ndidi is understood to be weighing the Turkish offer favourably seeing it as a competitive and stable environment under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjรฆr.
Editorial

After Leicesterโs relegation, the midfielder faces a crossroads stay in the Championship or join a club where European qualification and leadership roles remain within reach. Beลiktaลโs persistent interest, willingness to meet valuation, and appeal of Turkish football suggest a well-considered path forward.
