Transfer: Ndidi available to leave Leicester City for £9m release clause

Wilfred Ndidi has a £9 million relegation release clause inserted in his Leicester City’s contract, it has been revealed.

Ndidi penned a new three-year contract with the Foxes last summer.

According to the BBC, the clause was activated when Leicester City were relegated to the Sky Bet Championship two weeks ago following a 1-0 loss to newly crowned champions, Liverpool.

The 28-year-old had the chance to leave the King Power Stadium on a free transfer last summer but instead opted to remain at the club.

Leicester City also rejected an offer for the player from Ligue 1 club, Monaco, in January.

Ndidi joined the Foxes from Belgian Pro League outfit KRC Genk in 2017.

The Nigeria international has featured in 27 games across all competitions for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side this season.
