UEFA Champions League
Atletico Madrid has set its sights on Wilfred Ndidi as a possible reinforcement for the upcoming season. The Nigerian midfielder, currently at Leicester City, is an option that the Rojiblanco board likes to strengthen the midfield, and his signing could be more accessible if the English club loses its category at the end of the season.
The need to add a new midfielder has become a priority for the team led by Diego Simeone. With Koke's continuity still up in the air and the minutes burden on players like Rodrigo de Paul and Pablo Barrios, Atletico is looking for an experienced midfielder who can bring balance to the midfield. Ndidi, 28, was already considered in the past transfer window but ultimately renewed his contract with Leicester until 2027.
Ndidi, in Atletico Madrid's sights
However, the situation of the English team in the Premier League could change the scenario. Currently in the relegation zone, Leicester could be forced to negotiate the departure of several players if they do not secure their stay, which would open the door for Atletico to sign Ndidi at a more affordable price.
Nevertheless, Atletico is not alone in the race for the midfielder. Real Betis has also shown interest in the Nigerian, while AS Monaco is closely monitoring his situation. With 291 matches played in English football, Ndidi is an established player who could become a key piece for the Madrid team next season.
