Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli is considering a move for Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, who could leave the Foxes this summer for £9m due to a relegation release clause in his contract.
The 28-year-old Nigerian international signed a new contract with Leicester City last summer, which included the special clause allowing him to leave at a set price if the club faced relegation.
According to BenriNews findings, Al-Ahli will face significant competition for Ndidi's signature, with several European heavyweights also expressing interest. Manchester United, Everton, and Turkish giants Fenerbahce are all reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
Ndidi, who joined Leicester City from Belgian club KRC Genk in January 2017, has been a key figure for the Foxes during his six-and-a-half-year stint. The defensive midfielder was instrumental in Leicester's FA Cup triumph in 2021 and has consistently been one of the Premier League's top ball-winners.
With two years remaining on his current contract, Leicester faces a difficult decision regarding one of their most valuable assets. The £9m release clause represents a significant discount on Ndidi's market value, making him an attractive proposition for clubs looking to strengthen their midfield options.
Al-Ahli's interest continues the trend of Saudi Pro League clubs targeting established international players. The Saudi side has already made several high-profile signings in recent transfer windows as part of the league's ambitious growth strategy.
For Ndidi, a move to Saudi Arabia would likely come with a substantial salary increase, though the allure of remaining in a top European league could influence his decision.
