Spanish La Liga side Real Betis have set their sights on signing Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi this summer, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Following Leicester City's relegation from the Premier League last season, Ndidi is widely expected to depart the club in the coming weeks.

The 28-year-old currently has a €7 million release clause in the three-year contract he signed with Leicester last summer.

According to Spanish outlet Diario de Sevilla, Real Betis have already made initial contact regarding Ndidi's availability.

The Andalusian club, runners-up in last season’s UEFA Europa Conference League after losing to Chelsea in the final, are eager to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new campaign.

They reportedly view Ndidi as an ideal addition due to his defensive qualities and playing style. Ndidi joined Leicester City in 2017 from Belgian side KRC Genk.
