Beşiktaş Turn Down Ajax Approach for Super Eagles Captain Wilfred Ndidi

Turkish Super Lig heavyweights Beşiktaş have rejected an approach from Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam for Nigeria and Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi.

According to transfer expert Ben Jacobs, Ajax proposed a loan deal worth €2 million with an option to buy set at €12 million for the 29-year-old defensive midfielder. However, Beşiktaş were not convinced and turned down the offer.

Ndidi joined the Turkish side last summer from Sky Bet Championship club Leicester City and quickly established himself as a key figure in the squad. Just days after his arrival, he was handed the role of vice-captain, underlining his importance to the team.

Reports indicate that Beşiktaş had already rejected interest in Ndidi earlier in the transfer window, showing their determination to keep hold of the Nigerian star.

The midfielder is currently recovering from an injury sustained during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, with the club closely monitoring his rehabilitation.
