Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad have reportedly submitted an offer to sign Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi from Turkish club Beşiktaş.

 

 

According to Turkish outlet Milliyet, the Saudi club have tabled a bid worth €10.5 million, with performance-related bonuses potentially increasing the deal to €12.5 million.

 

 

The move comes after Beşiktaş reportedly rejected an earlier approach from another Saudi Pro League club, Al Diriyah, during the current transfer window. Al-Ittihad are said to have identified the 29-year-old midfielder as a priority target as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.

 

 

Ndidi joined Beşiktaş from Leicester City in August 2025, signing a three-year contract that runs until June 2028, with the Turkish club holding the option to extend it by a further year. Since arriving in Istanbul, the former Leicester midfielder has established himself as a key member of the squad and was appointed vice-captain in October 2025.

 

 

He has made 31 appearances in all competitions for Beşiktaş, scoring two goals and providing one assist. In the 2025/26 Turkish Super Lig season, he featured in 25 league matches and scored twice. Beşiktaş are reportedly reluctant to sanction Ndidi’s departure and are expected to negotiate only if their valuation of the player is met.

 

 

The reported offer from Al-Ittihad is understood to be close to the Turkish club’s asking price, although no agreement has yet been announced between the two clubs. Ndidi has also attracted interest from several clubs in the Middle East during the current transfer window, with Al-Ittihad now emerging as the latest side to enter the race for the Super Eagles midfielder.
