Saudi Pro League side, Al-Ahli are reportedly keen on signing Super Eagles and Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi. This follows reports that the same club offered Victor Osimhen a staggering €30 million annual deal to tempt him to the Middle East.
Ndidi, who recently renewed his contract with Leicester City, has become a top priority for Al-Ahli as they prepare for the new Saudi league season. The Nigerian international played a crucial role in Leicester’s promotion but could not prevent their drop to the EFL Championship.
Despite committing to the East Midlands club, Ndidi has been linked with a potential move to avoid another relegation struggle. Crystal Palace has also shown interest in the 27-year-old midfielder in the past.
Al-Ahli’s interest in Ndidi has been confirmed by his agent, who hinted that discussions might commence soon. According to reports from Arriyadiyah, the Saudi club is eager to bolster their squad with Ndidi’s defensive midfield prowess.
Ndidi’s consistent performances for Leicester City continue to draw attention from clubs in Europe and Asia. His ability to deliver at the top level has made him a valuable asset for potential suitors.
Meanwhile, Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported Al-Ahli’s pursuit of Victor Osimhen, aiming to secure the Napoli striker’s signature. However, Osimhen seems more inclined toward a move to a top European club rather than heading to Saudi Arabia.
For Ndidi, a transfer to Al-Ahli could present a lucrative opportunity, potentially surpassing his current earnings. With Leicester now in the Championship, the move might align with his desire to remain at the top level of football.
As Al-Ahli intensify their recruitment efforts, they aim to strengthen their squad with high-profile players like Ndidi. If finalized, this transfer could mark a significant milestone in the Saudi club’s quest for dominance.
