Turkish Giants Eye Leicester Midfielder Amid Relegation Battle

Wilfred Ndidi’s time at Leicester City could be drawing to a close as Turkish champions Galatasaray renew their pursuit of the Super Eagles midfielder. The 28-year-old has been a pillar of consistency for the Foxes since his arrival from KRC Genk in 2017, making nearly 300 appearances and playing a crucial role in their FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs in 2021.

However, with Leicester battling relegation in the Premier League, Ndidi is reportedly open to a fresh challenge. Galatasaray, who had shown interest in the Nigerian last summer, are preparing to make another move, and this time, the midfielder could be more willing to consider an exit.

Despite the transfer speculation, Ndidi’s immediate focus is on national duty. The combative midfielder is set to earn his 63rd cap for Nigeria in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda. With the Super Eagles winless after four games, Friday’s match in Kigali is a must-win if Nigeria hopes to return to the world’s biggest football stage after missing out on the 2022 edition.

As Ndidi weighs his club future, all eyes will be on him when he steps onto the pitch for his country, carrying the hopes of millions of Nigerian fans.
