Florian Plettenberg reports that Bundesliga club are monitoring Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi. Although no names have been mentioned, a €15m transfer fee is commanded from the Championship club following their relegation from the Premier League.
The 28-year-old arrived at Leicester City from KRC Genk in January 2017 for €17.6m and went on to make 220 Premier League appearances for the Foxes. The Nigerian defensive-midfielder also played four times in the Champions League after Leicester had won the Premier League title in 2016, and saw a market value high of €60m – which has now declined to €16m.
Ndidi does have a contract until 2027 so Leicester City should be able to recoup a figure around the price that they paid to sign the tough-tackling midfielder in 2017.
Even though no club has been mentioned, it’s also difficult to speculate. Borussia Dortmund’s Niko Kovac would like to strengthen in the No. 6 position, but club bosses have priorities with the club looking to strengthen in their wide areas following Jamie Gittens’ departure and Julien Duranville’s injury.
