Bayern Munich have identified Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi for a potential loan deal as they explore the possibility of strengthening their midfield before the end of the summer transfer window, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Bayern’s interest in Ndidi did not go unnoticed by coach Thomas Tuchel, who intends to have the midfielder in his squad as soon as possible.
According to the German daily Kicker, the Bavarian club is interested in securing the loan of the Nigerian midfielder in a season-long loan deal.
Meanwhile, Leicester City are keen to negotiate a contract renewal with Ndidi, whose contract expires at the end of this season.
One of the options under discussion would be to extend the Nigerian midfielder’s contract with the former EPL champions, followed by a loan at Bayern.
Ndidi, who is in his eighth season with Leicester City, is considered a valuable asset in the midfield and a possible move from Bayern could represent a stepping stone in his career.
He has been tipped for a move away from the Foxes this summer, but surprisingly, has stayed with Leicester in the Championship as they launch their quest to regain promotion back to the Premier League.
Ndidi has started three of their four Championship games this season, and has also scored a goal in the EFL Cup
