Atletico Madrid remain interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, according to recent reports. The Super Eagles star was close to leaving in January but stayed to help his club fight for survival in the Premier League.
Softfootball notes that the Spanish giants plan to renew their pursuit of the 28-year-old in the summer transfer window.
Ndidi has recently returned to action after overcoming a hamstring injury, earning more minutes under manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy. His experience and defensive solidity make him an attractive target for several European clubs, including AS Monaco and Real Betis, who are also monitoring his situation closely.
Monaco previously submitted an £18 million offer with an obligation to buy, but Leicester rejected all approaches during the winter window. The Foxes viewed Ndidi as crucial for squad depth during their relegation battle, despite his limited playing time earlier in the season due to fitness issues.
Atletico Madrid are expected to return for Ndidi alongside Monaco and Betis this summer. The midfielder’s ability to break up play and distribute the ball fits well with Diego Simeone’s tactical requirements, making him a priority target for the La Liga side.
