Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has been linked with a potential move to the Dutch Eredivisie, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200bNdidi\u2019s future has become a major talking point at Besiktas this summer<\/a>. The 29-year-old midfielder, who arrived from Leicester City just last year, was initially expected to be a cornerstone of the club\u2019s midfield for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

\u200bHowever, following a disappointing campaign last season, the club parted ways with manager Sergen Yal\u00e7\u0131n. <\/p>\n

His successor, Vincenzo Italiano, has already begun an extensive squad overhaul, and it appears Ndidi is among those deemed surplus to requirements as he does not fit the Italian tactician\u2019s tactical system.<\/p>\n

\u200bConsequently, speculation regarding his next move has intensified. While Saudi Arabia and the English Premier League have been touted as potential destinations for the Nigerian international, no concrete offers have materialized thus far.<\/p>\n

Soccer \u200bWhere Will Wilfred Ndidi Go Next?<\/h2>\n

\u200bTurkish outlet Fanatik<\/a> reports that a move within the Turkish S\u00fcper Lig has also emerged as a possibility, though the specific clubs interested in his services remain undisclosed.<\/p>\n

\u200bAs he approaches his 30s, the Super Eagles star is expected to prioritize more lucrative offers as he begins to look toward the latter stages of his career. <\/p>\n

Currently valued at \u20ac8 million by Transfermarkt<\/a>, Ndidi remains an affordable option for many clubs. Given that Besiktas is eager to offload him, they may even be willing to negotiate a discounted transfer fee.<\/p>\n

\u200bThis summer represents a pivotal juncture for Ndidi, and he will undoubtedly be aiming to secure a move that aligns with his professional ambitions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
