Spanish giants Atletico Madrid will look to sign Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi as replacement for Rodri who has indicated his interest in leaving the club before the end of this summer transfer window.
Owngoalnigeria.com exclusively gathered that the Ndidi is top among the targets of coach Diego Simeone who is facing the prospect of losing as many as six players in this transfer window.
Leicester City will demand a fee in excess of £60m with Ndidi still having three years to run on his deal at the club he joined three years ago from Belgium side Genk. He has so far proved to be a shrewd bargain for the Foxes.
Presently with the senior national team of Nigeria preparing for the 2019 AFCON , the 22 year old has hinted at his interest in a move away from the King Power outfit when he welcomed reports linking him with a move to Manchester United.
It is however believed that he is keen on remaining in England where he intends to live and raise a family with his newly wedded wife.
