According to Ben Jacobs via The United Stand, there’s a growing interest in midfielder Wilfried Ndidi from Manchester United and Everton. There’s a three-way battle for the midfielder as Saudi side Al-Hilal are also looking at the Leicester City star who is available for just £9 million due to a relegation clause in his contract.
Some of the Premier League teams will keep a close eye on the players from the recently relegated sides such as Leicester City or Southampton to pluck some talented stars. Within the Foxes camp is one Wilfried Ndidi, who could prove useful to a lot of the top-flight sides.
The Nigerian packs plenty of experience in the game, and at 28, he has plenty more to offer. Regarded as one of the stable midfielders in the top flight, Ndidi boasts experience of 220 games in the Premier League alone with the Foxes.
He came close to leaving the club last summer when his contract expired momentarily, before signing a new deal until 2027. The agreement came with a relegation clause, which allows Ndidi to leave for £9 million this summer, as Manchester United and Everton are looking at the possibility of signing the Nigerian.
Everton are in the market for a new midfielder, with links to Sean Longstaff among others. David Moyes wants an experienced presence in the middle of the park. They could view the £9m-rated midfielder as a bargain signing of sorts, that will certainly improve their overall quality.
Everton are not alone as Al-Hilal and Manchester United are in a three-way battle for the midfielder, with the Saudi side likelty to turn his head with a lucrative offe . At the Red Devils, Ruben Amorim is open to keeping Casemiro, the likes of Christian Eriksen could leave, which will see the club look for replacements.
There were some links to Joao Palhinha, who could leave Bayern Munich, but he will be a costly acquisition. Hence, the idea of signing someone like the experienced Ndidi could make sense, with the £9 million-rated midfielder seen as a major bargain signing in this market.
