The free agent market is particularly busy. Many of them find themselves in this situation this summer, and this benefits the interested clubs. This is the case of Wilfred Ndidi, pillar of the Nigerian selection, who was also greatly missed by the Super Eagles during the last CAN. Arriving at Leicester in January 2017, during the season following the English championship title, the midfielder is now 27 years old and still has a good rating on the market.

A few days ago, we revealed Olympique Lyonnais’ interest in the player. But OL has a lot of files to manage at the same time, from Lacazette to Cherki and the various loans to be completed. And the competition is getting more and more fierce. Real Betis in Spain, Everton in England, and even Leicester who could finally extend his contract, following his promotion to the Premier League. An extension offer has even been made.

OM is on the lookout

But competition also comes from France. Indeed, according to our information, Olympique de Marseille is also attentive to this file. OM is actively looking for new players, in almost all positions, to give as many solutions as possible to its future coach Roberto De Zerbi. Above all, it is also preparing for possible departures in its midfield (Veretout?, Kondogbia?), in addition to the planned departure of Pape Gueye and the end of Jean Onana’s loan. In addition, AS Monaco has also taken some information on the player.

The opportunity to recruit a player with a lot of experience is great. With 261 matches (15 goals) in all competitions with the Foxes (including 192 in the Premier League), Ndidi is a sure bet on the European scene. Will French clubs have the opportunity to materialize their interest in the face of tough competition?
