Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have emerged as the latest Premier League sides expressing interest in AS Roma defender Evan Ndicka, as speculation around the Ivorian international’s future continues to intensify.
Ndicka, 25, completed a strong season with the Italian side, featuring in 51 matches across all competitions, contributing one goal and two assists.
His consistent performances at the heart of Roma’s defence have placed him firmly on the radar of several top European clubs, despite the player publicly signalling his preference to remain in the Italian capital for now.
Over recent months, Ndicka’s name has been linked with a growing list of suitors. Spanish giants Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring the situation, while Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, and Newcastle United have also been credited with interest.
Now, according to RMC Sport, both Tottenham and Manchester United have made exploratory moves regarding a potential summer transfer.
Although the defender remains under contract with Roma until June 2028, the mounting interest suggests his situation could shift if a compelling offer is tabled.
Roma are reportedly willing to consider serious bids in the region of €40 million, a fee that reflects Ndicka’s growing profile but also his long-term value to the Giallorossi.
Despite the external interest, the club has not indicated any urgency to sell. Roma see Ndicka as an integral part of their project moving forward, and his regular presence in the starting eleven underlines his importance.
However, with the summer transfer window approaching, the pressure from Europe’s elite clubs may force a re-evaluation—particularly if a lucrative offer arrives.
Ndicka joined Roma from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023, bringing with him valuable experience from the Bundesliga, where he developed into one of the league’s most promising defenders.
His transition to Serie A has been largely successful, as evidenced by his high number of appearances and his composure on the ball, tactical intelligence, and physical dominance.
While his current market valuation stands at €25 million on Transfermarkt, Roma’s reported asking price reflects not only his performances but also his contract length and the scarcity of high-quality left-footed central defenders in the current market.
For Manchester United and Tottenham, Ndicka offers a potential solution to well-documented defensive issues. United have faced persistent injury problems at the back, and Tottenham continue to reshape their squad under Ange Postecoglou, seeking stability in central defence.
The coming weeks could prove decisive. While Ndicka’s loyalty to Roma is evident, the possibility of a Premier League move remains very much alive—particularly if the player is tempted by the challenge and prestige that English football offers.
As interest grows and negotiations potentially gather pace, the spotlight will remain fixed on Evan Ndicka.
Whether he continues to anchor Roma’s defence next season or begins a new chapter in the Premier League may depend on which club is prepared to meet the demands of both the player and his current employers.
