Leicester City midfielder and Super Eagles stalwart Wilfred Ndidi is on the verge of a potential summer move to the Bundesliga, according to top German journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Plettenberg confirmed via X (formerly Twitter) that multiple clubs in the German top flight have expressed strong interest in signing the Nigerian defensive midfielder. A transfer appears highly possible, especially with Leicester City now outside the Premier League and Ndidi reportedly available for a modest €9 million, despite being valued at €15 million.

“Wilfred Ndidi has also received requests from Bundesliga clubs,” Plettenberg posted. “A summer transfer is possible… One to watch.”

🔍 Ndidi’s Future — One to Watch Closely

Ndidi, 29, joined Leicester City in 2017 from Belgian side Genk for €17 million and quickly became one of the most dependable defensive midfielders in the Premier League. Despite Leicester’s recent relegation, his stock remains high across Europe — with past interest from Manchester United, Juventus, Everton, and Saudi Pro League sides.

The Bundesliga now presents a new frontier, and a fresh challenge, where his energy, interceptions, and ball-winning qualities could thrive in more tactically dynamic teams.

🗣️ Opinion: Bundesliga Move Could Be the Reset Ndidi Needs

Ndidi has been the heart of Leicester’s midfield for over seven years, and while he’s shown glimpses of his world-class ability, injuries and the club’s decline have stalled his momentum. A move to Germany — especially to a club with European ambitions — could offer renewed exposure, consistent game time, and a tactical system that values midfield discipline and transition play.

Whether he lands at a club like Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, or a Europa League-bound outfit, the Bundesliga’s style could perfectly complement his high-press and aggressive ball-recovery skill set.
