Atletico Madrid remain interested in signing Leicester City Nigerian midfield star Wilfred Ndidi, according to Caught Offside sources.
Ndidi was close to leaving Leicester in the January transfer window but the club decided to keep the player in order to fight for their survival in the league this season.
Atletico are still interested in signing the 28-year-old midfielder at the end of the season.
Ndidi is starting to get more minutes for Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s side recently after overcoming a hamstring injury earlier in the season.
He has also attracted interest from Real Betis and AS Monaco, who are keen on a loan deal.
Monaco have made an offer to Leicester for £18 million plus an obligation to buy with additional payments of £2 million.
However, despite their struggles financially, the 2015/2016 Premier League champions decided not to allow him leave in the recently closed January transfer window.
Although Ndidi’s playing time has been limited this season, the club sees him as valuable for the depth he provides to the squad.
Along with Atletico Madrid, AS Monaco and Real Betis are expected to return for the midfielder in the summer transfer window, as per Caught Offside sources.
