Leicester, England – Following their confirmed relegation from the Premier League, Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi (28) has a release clause in his contract that will allow him to leave the club for a fee of just £9 million this summer, according to reports from BBC Sport.
The Nigerian international signed a new three-year contract with the Foxes last summer, which runs until June 2027.
However, it appears this deal included a clause that would be activated in the event of the club’s relegation to the Championship.
Ndidi has been a consistent performer for Leicester since joining in 2017, known for his ball-winning abilities and strong defensive presence in midfield.
Despite Leicester’s struggles this season, his individual quality remains evident, and he is likely to attract interest from several clubs at this reduced price.
This news will alert potential suitors across Europe who could secure a seasoned Premier League player with significant experience for a relatively low transfer fee. Ndidi’s availability for £9m represents a potential bargain in the current transfer market.
Leicester City will now face the prospect of losing one of their key players for a fee significantly below his market value due to this relegation clause. It remains to be seen which clubs will make a move for the 28-year-old midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.
