Leicester City is optimistic that Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi will commit his future to the club by signing a new contract. Despite his current free agent status, Ndidi's contract offer from Leicester City remains on the table, and the club is eager to reach an agreement with the Nigerian international.
Ndidi's contract with Leicester City expired last month, and he has been linked to several clubs as a free agent. However, the Foxes are confident that they can persuade him to stay at the King Power Stadium. According to The Telegraph, the club has been in talks with Ndidi, and their offer remains on the table.
The 27-year-old midfielder has been an integral part of Leicester City's success since joining the club in 2017. He has won the FA Cup, Community Shield, and EFL Championship trophy with the Foxes. Ndidi's impressive performances have made him a fan favorite, and the club is keen to retain his services.
Leicester City's confidence in signing Ndidi to a new deal stems from their desire to maintain stability in their squad. The club faces a potential points deduction in the English top-flight for breaking Profitability and Sustainability Rules, making it crucial to retain existing talent like Ndidi rather than splashing money on new signings.
While Ndidi's future with Leicester City looks promising, his Nigerian teammate Kelechi Iheanacho's future remains uncertain. Iheanacho has been linked to Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, but no official announcement has been made regarding his club future for next season.
As the Premier League season approaches, Leicester City's priority is to secure Ndidi's signature and strengthen their squad. With their offer still on the table, the Foxes are hopeful that Ndidi will commit his future to the club and continue to be a vital part of their success.
