German champions Bayer Leverkusen have emerged as the latest club to express interest in Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, who is reportedly keen to leave Leicester City following their relegation from the Premier League.
The 28-year-old midfielder, who has been with Leicester City since January 2017, has a £9 million release clause in his contract that has attracted attention from multiple European clubs.
According to transfer expert Ben Jacobs, Manchester United have already held preliminary talks with Ndidi's representatives, while Everton and two other unnamed Premier League clubs have made approaches for the Nigerian international.
Interest in Ndidi extends beyond England, with Spanish side Real Betis, Italian giants Juventus, and several Saudi Arabian clubs also monitoring the situation closely.
Ndidi signed a new three-year contract with Leicester City last summer, but the club's relegation has triggered a release clause that makes him an attractive option for top-flight teams looking to strengthen their midfield options.
Bayer Leverkusen's interest comes after their historic unbeaten Bundesliga campaign under Xabi Alonso, with the German champions looking to bolster their squad ahead of their Champions League campaign next season.
The defensive midfielder has been a key figure for Leicester since his arrival, helping the club win the FA Cup in 2021 and establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most reliable ball-winning midfielders during his time at the King Power Stadium.
With multiple clubs vying for his signature, Ndidi's future could be decided in the coming weeks as pre-season preparations intensify across Europe.
