Wilfred Ndidi is expected to leave Besiktas this summer after just one season in Turkey, with reports suggesting the Super Eagles midfielder no longer fits into the club’s long-term plans.
Ndidi joined Besiktas from Leicester City in an €8 million deal last summer, but his future has been under constant speculation since the January transfer window, when interest from a return to England briefly emerged.
The situation at the club has shifted significantly following a disappointing campaign and a managerial change, with Sergen Yalç?n replaced by Vincenzo Italiano. Reports indicate the new coach does not see Ndidi as part of his tactical setup, prompting the club to consider offers.
According to Ajanshaber, a move away is now increasingly likely, with the Saudi Pro League emerging as the most realistic destination for the 29-year-old midfielder.
Although Ndidi still has two years left on his contract, Besiktas are reportedly open to selling him for a fee above €10 million in order to make a profit on their initial investment.
The former Leicester City star, who was once linked with Manchester United, has not attracted serious confirmed interest from top European sides in recent months, further increasing the likelihood of a move outside Europe’s top leagues.
Despite the uncertainty, Ndidi contributed solid performances during his debut season in Turkey, but the club’s instability and tactical reset have accelerated discussions over his departure.
Saudi clubs are now monitoring the situation closely as they continue to target experienced international players ahead of the new season.
