FC Barcelona has not been very reassuring in recent weeks. Slightly behind in La Liga, after the defeat in the Clasico (1-2), the Blaugranas were surprised against the Ukrainians of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League (0-1). A defeat far from alarming but which was not reassuring either. In the midfield, as well as up front, solutions are sometimes lacking for Xavi, who could well be tempted by a Championship player.
According to Sport, Barça would keep an eye on Wilfred Ndidi. The Leicester defensive midfielder, relegated with his team last season, is finding color with the Foxes who were untenable in the Championship. At 26 years old, the Nigerian is at the end of his contract in the summer of 2024 and his profile could fill some of Barcelona’s gaps in front of the defense. A lower-cost operation that could do the Catalans good in the future, especially when we know how popular Ndidi was at the time, when he played in the Premier League for Leicester, often at the top of the rankings. .
