Report: Ndidi rejects Sevilla, offers himself to former Champions League finalists

Ndidi is currently without a club, and Champions League football could influence his next destination

Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has offered himself to Spanish Laliga giants Atletico Madrid amid interest from Everton, Newcastle United, Sevilla, Soccernet.ng reports.

Ndidi had an impressive campaign with Leicester City in the English Championship, registering four goals and five assists in 32 appearances. His performances were key in helping the club gain promotion to the English Premier League.

However, with his deal set to expire at the end of the season, Ndidi refused to extend his contract, thus making him a free agent this summer.

The 27-year-old midfielder has not been short of suitors though, as Juventus, Everton, Newcastle United, Galatasaray, and Sevilla have all been linked with signing him.

But in a new development, per Fischajes, Ndidi is not interested in joining Sevilla because he wants to play Champions League Football. Instead, he has set his sights on joining two-time Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid.

Los Rojiblancos finished third in the Spanish Laliga in the just-concluded season. And they would be looking to invest in reinforcements this summer. Ndidi would be a decent fit for Diego Simeone’s side because of his gritty and rugged style of play. However, it is unlikely that he will get as much game time as he is used to because of the presence of Koke.
