Galatasaray, the Süper Lig powerhouse, is once again setting its sights on Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi as they prepare for the 2024-25 season campaign, as reported by Soccernet.NG.
Currently plying his trade at Leicester City, Ndidi’s contract with the Foxes is set to expire at the conclusion of the season. While talks of a renewal remain on hold until the season wraps up, Galatasaray is eager to make a move for the talented midfielder.
Leicester City, under the stewardship of Enzo Maresca, is on the brink of securing promotion back to the English Premier League following a season in the lower division. However, their entry into the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League hinges on their performance in the league.
On the other hand, Galatasaray finds themselves atop the Süper Lig standings with just nine games remaining, boasting a two-point lead over second-placed Fenerbahce and guaranteeing themselves a spot in the Champions League next season.
Galatasaray is poised to use the allure of Champions League football to tempt Ndidi to make the move to Turkey. Despite a decline in his market value from its peak of €60 million in 2021 to €16 million currently according to Transfermarkt, Ndidi remains a target for several top clubs including Bayern Munich, Sevilla, and Liverpool, all potentially entering the fray for his signature during the upcoming summer transfer window.
