Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi set for potential move to Monaco

AS Monaco have turned their focus to Leicester City’s Nigerian star Wilfred Ndidi, with the Ligue 1 side reportedly considering a six-month loan deal with an option to buy, as per L’Équipe.

Despite signing a three-year contract extension earlier this season to remain with the former Premier League champions, the 28-year-old midfielder has reignited interest in the French top flight. Ndidi was previously linked to Olympique de Marseille in the summer but ultimately chose to stay at Leicester.

Now, Monaco, in search of an experienced midfielder to bolster their squad for the second half of the campaign, see Ndidi as the ideal fit. While no formal offer has been made to Leicester yet, reports suggest the Nigerian international is open to the idea of joining the Principality club.

Monaco’s pursuit of Ndidi highlights their ambitions to strengthen their midfield and potentially push for silverware in the latter stages of the season. For Ndidi, this could be an opportunity to bring his defensive prowess to Ligue 1 and embrace a fresh challenge.
