Xavi Hernandez, coach of Barcelona, has reportedly approved the free transfer of Wilfred Ndidi, a midfielder for the Super Eagles, according to OwnGoalNigeria. Ndidi is expected to join the Catalan giants, subject to negotiations, when his contract with Leicester City expires this summer.
Xavi thinks the Nigerian international will be an asset to his club and that his skill set is a great fit with their playing style. Barcelona's title hopes will be boosted by Ndidi's versatility and defensive prowess, which will add depth and competitiveness to the midfield. Ndidi was instrumental in Leicester City's rise to the Premier League, thus his departure would be a boon for Barcelona.
The chance to join a European powerhouse like Barcelona was too tempting to turn go, but we will miss his experience and leadership abilities. Barcelona will initiate negotiations with Ndidi's representatives in order to complete the transfer once Xavi gives his agreement. Acquiring a world-class player at a reasonable fee is a huge win for the club, and this transfer is just the cherry on top. The addition of Ndidi to Barcelona's midfield will thrill fans who can not wait to watch him play with Pedri, Gavi, and De Jong.
