Marseille are making a bid for Leicester’s highly-coveted Wilfred Ndidi

Wilfred Ndidi (27) represents a unique opportunity on the market. An international midfielder in his prime and soon available on a free transfer, it’s no surprise that teams are lining up to sign the Leicester City man.

As previously reported by Foot Market, Olympique Lyonnais were looking to quickly complete a deal for Nigerian international Ndidi, however they have failed to do so despite submitting a bid. With his contract expiring at the end of the month, other clubs came to the fore, notably Olympique de Marseille.

Everton bid for Ndidi, Monaco interested

OM will be without European football next season, however, there is a certain attraction for Phocaean project with the imminent arrival of Roberto De Zerbi as manager. When the Italian coach arrives, he will have to rebuild the midfield. Pape Gueye leaves on a free transfer, Jean Onana’s loan is over and Jordan Veretout and Geoffrey Kondogbia could both leave if reasonable offers arrive.

In this context, OM submitted a bid for Ndidi, as Lyon and Everton have already done. Leicester, meanwhile, continue to look to extend the Nigerian’s contract as he returns to the Premier League. AS Monaco are also interested, as are Sevilla, however the La Liga outfit will struggle to seal the deal, according to Foot Market.
