Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has disclosed that he is open to a potential move away from the Championship-winning side in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The Nigerian midfielder has played a crucial role in Leicester City's campaign to regain their Premier League status after suffering relegation last season.

The 27-year-old has been in outstanding form this season, leading Enzo Maresca's side to clinch the EFL Championship title and secure their return to the topflight.

Ndidi's impressive performances for the Foxes have attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe.

With Ndidi's contract with the 2016 Premier League champions set to expire at the end of the season and no talks of a possible extension underway, speculations regarding his future have intensified.

According to earlier reports by Spanish outlet Sport, Spanish giants Barcelona have identified Ndidi as a potential replacement for Oriol Romeu, who is expected to depart the club at the end of the season.

Other clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Galatasaray, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa have also reportedly expressed their interest in the former Genk star.

Addressing the speculation surrounding his future, Ndidi stated that he is open to exploring new opportunities if a favorable offer presents itself.

“If a good opportunity arises, I wouldn't mind exploring options elsewhere, but for now, I remain committed to Leicester City," Ndidi remarked, as quoted by Complete Sports.
