Manchester United are preparing a €5 million bid for Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi, a move many observers have described as insulting, NaijNaira can report.
According to TeamTalk, the Premier League side is ready to test Leicester’s resolve despite Ndidi’s €9 million release clause following their relegation.
The Nigerian international has drawn attention from Everton, Juventus, and Saudi side Al Ahli, but so far, no club has made a formal offer.
Ndidi’s potential exit comes as no surprise. He stood out last season in a Leicester team that dropped to the Championship.
His current contract includes a clause that allows him to leave for €9 million due to the club’s relegation.
Manchester United’s reported €5 million offer falls well below that, making it unlikely to be accepted.
A source close to the deal said, “That bid is an insult, especially given how crucial Ndidi is in midfield.”
Transfermarkt currently values Ndidi at three times what United are offering, making the bid seem even more unrealistic.
Leicester City are expected to turn down the approach, especially with multiple clubs still in the race.
United’s strategy might be to open talks low and negotiate upward, but they risk losing him to better-prepared clubs.
Ndidi remains open to a move, but his next club will likely need to show more ambition.
