Wilfred Ndidi: Besiktas tell Manchester United what they must pay to land Super Eagles skipper

Published on by

Turkish Süper Lig giants Beşiktaş have revealed their valuation for Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, Afrik-Foot reports.

​Ndidi has been a pivotal player for the Black Eagles since arriving from Leicester City in an €8 million deal last summer.

The 29-year-old has made 28 appearances across all competitions, contributing two goals and one assist. Away from the stats, his veteran presence and consistent performances have earned him the role of assistant captain at the Tupras Park.

​Despite his brilliance in Istanbul, Ndidi’s future remains a subject of serious speculation. The former KRC Genk star has been frequently linked with a move to Premier League heavyweights Manchester United over the past year.

​While rumors were rife last summer before he eventually landed in Turkey, the links to Old Trafford have persisted. A move appears logical, as the Red Devils are reportedly in the market for two new midfielders this summer to bolster their squad.

​While no concrete offer has been tabled yet, latest reports suggest that Beşiktaş may be prepared to part ways with their Nigerian asset if the price is right.

​According to a fresh report from Eagles Media, Beşiktaş have informed potential suitors that they will only consider double-digit offers for Wilfred Ndidi.

​This valuation implies that a bid starting at €10 million could be enough to lure the midfielder away from Istanbul.

Given the current market, this is an enticing bargain for top clubs looking to add some quality and experience to their midfield.

​Ndidi turns 30 this December, which means that he still has several high-level seasons left in the tank. However, with two years remaining on his current contract, Beşiktaş remain in a strong position to dictate the terms of any potential negotiation.
