Spanish La Liga side Sevilla has emerged as a serious contender for the signing of Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, who is set to become a free agent next summer. The club is currently undergoing a midfield rebuild, having already secured the loan of Leicester City’s Boubakary Soumare this season.
According to reports, Ndidi would need to accept a significant pay cut to make the move to the Sanchez Pijuan stadium. The 26-year-old’s contract with Leicester City is due to expire at the end of the current season, and negotiations for a new deal have reportedly stalled.
With his future at Leicester City uncertain, Ndidi has attracted the attention of several clubs, including Sevilla and Barcelona. Both teams are eager to bolster their midfield options and are considering Ndidi as a potential solution.
While Sevilla is reportedly prepared to offer Ndidi a lucrative contract, the player would still need to take a pay cut compared to his current earnings at Leicester City. This could prove to be a stumbling block in the negotiations, as Ndidi may seek a move to a club that can match his current salary demands.
Despite the potential financial implications, Sevilla remains determined to secure Ndidi’s signature. The club views him as a valuable addition to their midfield, possessing the physicality, defensive prowess, and passing ability that align with their playing style.
Ndidi’s future remains uncertain, but the interest from Sevilla and Barcelona suggests that he is a highly sought-after player. His decision on whether to accept a pay cut for a move to Sevilla or seek a more lucrative offer elsewhere will be closely watched in the coming months.
