Al-Ittihad bids €10.5m for Nigeria captain Ndidi as Beşiktaş weighs offer

Al-Ittihad have submitted a €10.5 million bid for Nigeria captain Wilfred Ndidi, which could rise to €12.5 million with bonuses, according to Turkish outlet Milliyet as reported by DAILY POST. Beşiktaş are currently evaluating the offer with head coach Vincenzo Italiano set to provide a recommendation on the defender's future.

This matters deeply to Nigerians as Ndodi captains the Super Eagles and joined Beşiktaş from Leicester City last summer. In his first season in Turkey, he scored two goals and provided one assist across 31 league appearances, establishing himself as a regular starter in midfield. A potential move to the Saudi Pro League could significantly impact his availability and form for national team duties, especially with AFCON qualifiers on the horizon.

Beşiktaş haven't accepted the bid yet and will base their decision on Italiano's technical report. The 29-year-old defensive midfielder has been a key figure for the Turkish giants since his summer transfer, playing a vital role in their midfield setup.

If Beşiktaş accepts the offer, would you support Ndidi's move to Saudi Arabia for greater earnings and new challenge, or worry it might affect his sharpness and consistency for Super Eagles duties in upcoming AFCON qualifiers and World Cup qualifiers?
