Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is on the radar as  Spanish giant Real Madrid is said to be bidding for him.

Real Madrid according to a reports, will seek to sign Ndidi this summer as they believe he is capable of filing the role of Brazilian Casemiro.

The African midfielder appears on the scene as a possible new player on  the midfield of Merengue with a view to the 2020-2021 course,.

It would be recalled that Ndidi  already has a contract until 2024,and several of the most important teams in the Premier League  knowing his skills in the field of play, are not letting this opportunity to bring Ndidi to enlist in their clubs slip by.

On report explained why Real Madrid is settling for Nigeria’s Ndidi: “Real Madrid have among their priorities the arrival of a new midfielder to their ranks. Merengue coach Zinedine Zidane only has the Brazilian Casemiro as a specialist in the defensive midfield position after Marcos Llorente’s departure to Atlético de Madrid last summer.

“In this situation other proper names emerge. And one of the options that most seduces and is echoed by the information published by Central Defense is the one featuring Nigerian Wilfred Ndidi. He arrived at Leicester in the summer of 2016 for €17m from Genk, the player is one of the covered ones that most seduces Zinedine Zidane with a view to the next course.”
