Barcelona are considering signing Ndidi from Leicester City, who will soon become a free agent.
- Barça are looking for Ndidi
- The contract expires next summer
- Cheap option is attractive
WHAT HAPPENED? The newspaper based in Barcelona, Sport, reports that the Nigerian international is in the spotlight of the Catalan giants. Ndidi’s eight-year contract with Leicester will expire this summer if not extended. With Barcelona looking for a defensive midfielder, the 26-year-old has emerged as a viable option.
THE OVERALL PICTURE: Hurt by massive debts and La Liga’s strict financial rules, Barcelona have had to be creative in raising funds and recruiting players who can strengthen the team at a lower cost. Searching the market for those who will become free agents in the summer is a way to increase the budget and allow for arrivals in other parts of the field.
