Beşiktaş rejects Saudi bid for Wilfred Ndidi, demands €10 million fee

Turkish club Beşiktaş turned down a €7 million offer from Saudi Arabian side Al Diriyah for Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, stating the proposal was below the player's market value. The club indicated it would only consider bids in the region of €10 million, roughly €2 million above the €8 million it paid Leicester City for Ndidi in August 2025.

Ndidi, 29, has become a key figure in Beşiktaş’s squad, recording two goals and one assist in 31 appearances across all competitions during the 2025/26 season and serving as vice‑captain. His potential departure was seen as a possible leadership loss for manager Vincenzo Italiano, while interest from other European clubs continues to be reported.
