Wilfred Ndidi's market transfer value has nosedived from €60m to €25m in just one year following the relegation of Leicester City from the Premier League at the end of the 2022/23 season.
Last year, Ndidi was rated as the most valuable Nigerian player even ahead of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen who is now fourth in the world following his impressive performances for the Serie A champions.
Osimhen finished last season as the highest goalscorer with 26 goals and also became the first African to win the Golden Boot in the history of Serie A.

FootballAccording to the report in Guardian and a post on Twitter, Ndidi suffered a drop in his transfer market value on four consecutive occasions in September and November 2022 as well as March and June 2023.
Injuries, a dip in form, and Leicester’s poor season could be attributed to how the cookies crumbled for the Super Eagles midfielder.
Sports Brief spoke with Paris-based sports reporter Babatunde Ojora who expressed unhappiness about Ndidi's form last season at Leicester City.
''We all expected more from him last season, and it's sad that his market value has dropped as we await where he will play in the coming season.''
Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Lig champions Galatasaray are reportedly interested in signing Nigerian midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi following the relegation of his club Leicester City from the Premier League last season.

Since the Foxes were relegated, there have been concerns over the future of Ndidi, with some reports also linking him with a move to Serie A champions Napoli.
Speculation has it that those in charge of Napoli want to reunite Ndidi with Victor Osimhen.
