Manchester United hold talks for relegated midfielder with £9m release clause
Ndidi has a release clause of £9m in his contract with the Foxes, following the club's relegation from the Premier League last season.
Several sides have enquired into a potential deal, including Manchester United, who are targeting an athletic profile in central midfield.
Personal terms have been discussed with the Nigeria international, though any deal could hinge on outgoings. The focus of Ruben Amorim is adding a centre-forward to his squad, before pursuing potential midfield additions.
United are not alone in their pursuit of Ndidi, with journalist Ben Jacobs reporting that Everton and two other unnamed Premier League teams have also made approaches.
There's also interest from Europe with Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus, Real Betis and Saudi Pro League sides weighing up offers.
The 28-year-old has been with Leicester since 2017 and has made 303 appearances for the club in all competitions.
Last season, he provided five assists in 28 league games and ranked among the top 10% of midfielders in Europe for tackles, clearances and aerial duels won per game.

Man United Women's trio crowned European champions
Manchester United trio Ella Toone, Grace Clinton and Maya Le Tissier are champions of Europe. England completed a storybook victory over Spain with their second penalty shootout victory of the tournament. The Lionesses drew the match 1-1 and after extra-time, beat the World champions 3-1 on penalties to win their second consecutive Women's Euros. Former Red Devils played major role Former Red Devils also played an important role as Spain's Ona Battle, who used to play for United, provided the cross for the Spaniards' opening goal. Fellow former United striker, Alessia Russo also headed in England's equaliser in normal time. Ella Toone wins second Euros Toone scored a goal in the final of Euro 2022 and despite having a more significant role last time out, she did play her part. She completed 87% of her passes during her 87 minutes on the pitch, before being replaced by Bethany Mead. Toone also had one successful dribble attempt and had one effort on goal that was blocked. She also had one key pass during the game and made one clearance and interception. Toone finished the tournament with two goals and two assists and started in five consecutive matches after missing out in the opening match. Grace Clinton had much less time on the pitch during the tournament but she did provide a 5 minute cameo in the final, as she entered the field of play after 115 minutes. She did get some time on the pitch in five of England's six games, including all three knockout matches. Maya Le Tissier failed to see a minute of action but being around a winning squad will do her the world of good. United's 23-year-old captain will undoubtedly play her part for England in many major tournaments to come. Manchester United Women's X sent a congratulatory message to the United trio. In addition, the male team posted a photo on X of some of the squad watching the final whilst on pre-season tour of the United States. Whilst the trio will go and enjoy a well-earned holiday, United Women will be back in action soon in pre-season. They have four matches in August including an opening fixture against Aston Villa this coming Sunday. There are also exciting games against Liverpool, Real Betis and Manchester City on the horizon before the Women's Super league begins in September.

Roma interested in Devis Vasquez as second-choice keeper
Roma are also making moves on the goalkeeping front. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Giallorossi have inquired about Devis Vasquez who has recently become a free agent following his unsuccessful spell at AC Milan. Born in 1998, Vasquez arrived at AC Milan in January 2023 from Paraguayan club Guaraní, but never managed to find a place in the first team. After a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday and two mixed seasons at Ascoli and Empoli, the goalkeeper is now in Roma's sights, which is evaluating him as a possible free transfer alternative while waiting to finalize Gollini's future. No negotiations have been made at this time, but contacts have been initiated.
