Atlético de Madrid continues planning its future and, in search of reinforcements for its midfield, has reactivated its interest in Wilfred Ndidi, Leicester's midfielder. According to recent reports, the red-and-white team would be willing to fight for his signing next transfer market, although it won't be an easy operation.
The Nigerian player has been on Atlético de Madrid's radar for some time, and his possible arrival could create significant competition in the Colchoneros' midfield. Simeone's need to have a defensive pivot makes the sports management active in the market. This is why Ndidi is back on Atlético de Madrid's agenda, where he has been several times.
Ndidi, the Midfielder Atlético de Madrid Is Looking For
Wilfred Ndidi is a 28-year-old midfielder who has established himself in Europe as a specialist in ball recovery and defensive balance. His ability to steal balls, imposing physique, and tactical discipline make him an ideal profile for Cholo Simeone's scheme, which has always prioritized solidity in the midfield.
Currently, the player is with Leicester City, a team going through a difficult situation in the Premier League, fighting to avoid relegation. Despite suffering a hamstring injury that kept him off the field for several matches, Ndidi has returned strongly. He is once again becoming key in the team led by Ruud Van Nistelrooy's scheme.
Competition for His Signing: Monaco and Betis Also Want Ndidi
Atlético de Madrid is not the only team that has shown interest in Ndidi. According to Caught Offside, Monaco and Real Betis are also in the race to sign the Nigerian midfielder.
In fact, Leicester City already rejected an offer from Monaco of 18 million pounds plus 2 in variables. This only demonstrates that the English club values its player highly and won't let him go easily. Atlético de Madrid will have to negotiate wisely if it wants to secure his services.
