Italian giants Juventus have now joined the chase for Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, following Leicester City’s drop from the Premier League.
The 28-year-old Nigerian is reportedly on the radar of several top clubs this summer, with Manchester United, Everton, and Real Betis also showing strong interest.
Transfer expert Ben Jacobs confirmed that Juventus are now seriously considering a move for Ndidi.
This development has surprised many fans, given that the midfielder could be available for as little as €10.5 million.
According to sources, “Ndidi is available for a fee just shy of €10.5 million (£8 million) due to a relegation clause.”
The low price tag is due to a relegation clause in his contract.
Ndidi, who has been at Leicester City for over eight years, is one of the most experienced players at the club.
He has made a total of 303 appearances, including 220 in the Premier League.
He also played a key role in Leicester’s historic FA Cup win in the 2020/21 season and featured in their Community Shield victory that followed.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are said to be considering Ndidi as a potential replacement for Casemiro.
The Brazilian midfielder has struggled to maintain form and fitness, and United are looking for a younger, more durable option.
Ndidi’s defensive strength and Premier League experience make him a solid candidate for the role.
Moreover, reports suggest that the Nigerian midfielder is also open to exploring the Saudi Pro League.
However, European clubs remain in the lead due to the quality of competition and higher global visibility.
This price makes him one of the most affordable top-quality midfielders in the current transfer market.
His consistent performance over the years and contributions to Leicester’s top-flight campaigns have kept him in demand.
Furthermore, should Juventus or Manchester United land the midfielder, it will mark a major step in Ndidi’s career.
