Seven-time French champions Olympique Lyonnais have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring the services of Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi this summer, as per reports from transfer market website Foot Mercato.
Lyon is actively seeking to bolster their midfield for the upcoming season and has identified Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi as a prime target for reinforcement.
Last summer, Lyon made attempts to secure the signature of the Nigeria international, but the deal proved challenging due to Ndidi's unavailability for loan and his substantial wages.
During the previous season, Ndidi played a pivotal role in Leicester City's successful campaign, contributing to nine goals in 32 matches while operating in an advanced midfield position.
With just about a month remaining on his contract with the Foxes, Ndidi's future at the King Power Stadium remains uncertain, leaving the door open for a potential move.
According to the reports, Lyon faces competition from Premier League side Everton and La Liga club Real Betis in the race to secure Ndidi's services.
The Red and Blues of Lyon are actively scouting for a central midfielder, especially with potential departures looming for Corentin Tolisso, Paul Akouokou, and Johann Lepenant.
Interest in Ndidi extends beyond Lyon, with Spanish clubs Barcelona and Sevilla also reportedly eyeing the Nigerian midfielder as a potential transfer target.
Earlier, Lyon demonstrated their interest in Nigerian talents by signing 2023 Super Eagles invitee Gift Orban from KAA Gent during the January transfer window, where Orban made significant contributions by appearing in sixteen games and netting three goals.
