Over time, Ndidi has been linked with several clubs vying for his signature, including Barcelona, Sevilla, Galatasaray, and Trabzonspor, all looking to bolster their squads against the upcoming season campaign.
Sevilla remains active in the transfer market, particularly in their pursuit of bolstering the midfield. While negotiations with Saúl from Atlético de Madrid are nearing completion, Sevilla will now focus on securing the services of the Super Eagles star, with efforts aimed at negotiating a more favorable deal for the club.
However, if they cannot meet Ndidi’s financial demands, Sevilla will explore alternative, economically viable options to strengthen their squad under García Pimenta’s guidance.
