Leicester City have [reportedly declined](https://www.wiki.showcad.dotnetcloud.co.uk/index.php?title=User:BobbiePenny730) a late takeover attempt by Spanish side Valencia for defensive midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, even as they neared a confirmed deal with Besiktas. The Turkish club agreed a €9.5 million fee meeting Ndidi’s relegation release clause while Valencia’s bid arrived too late and was swiftly dismissed. |

|
|

Despite interest from Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Everton, as well as Juventus and Real Betis, Ndidi is expected to complete his move to Besiktas on a three-year contract.[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig) Personal terms have reportedly been agreed, and the transfer hinges on final medical clearance. |

This transfer episode illustrates football’s transactional nature: timing, clauses, and [priorities](https://pokeavalar.pl/wiki/index.php/User:TomasAdair009) all hinge on negotiation clarity. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Leicester’s of Valencia’s approach after sealing terms with Besiktas demonstrates professionalism and commitment to a deal led from start to finish. Clubs [respect](https://wiki.livablelynchburg.org/mediawiki/index.php/User:LaneRiddick4587) and reward that especially mid-window when disruption can be costly.[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Meanwhile, Ndidi’s case underscores the duality of modern football: skill meets strategy. Despite interest from Europe’s top leagues, he favours a project offering playing time, leadership opportunities and competitive focus rather than headline pursuit. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
For Leicester, this sale reflects practical reality. Following relegation, activating his £9 million release clause provides essential income. Offloading high wages whilst retaining squad stability becomes priority. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
For Ndidi, moving to Besiktas may feel like reset not retreat. Turkish football still prizes midfield steel and visibility in continental competition. If he remains consistent, he might gain both [redemption](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-history/mikel-leads-nigerian-earnings-ranks-6th-in-africa-richest-footballers/) and recognition—far sooner than in static squad tables. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Ultimately, [Leicestershire](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/transfer-news/11-top-nigerian-players-secure-new-clubs-in-winter-transfer-window/) won't rue this exit if revenue is used wisely, and Ndidi may find his next chapter defined not by name, but influence and leadership. |

Ndidi’s sale to Besiktas was triggered by a £9 million release clause, activated automatically upon Leicester’s relegation. The club received €9.5 million.[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Valencia’s bid arrived after the Besiktas agreement was reached and was officially rejected because the Turkish deal was already prioritised. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Juventus reportedly explored Ndidi’s availability as a low-cost midfield replacement, weighing the financial logistics of the release clause. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
Despite continued speculation, Ndidi denied wanting to leave Leicester, [stating](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/transfer-news/why-malmo-won-the-race-to-sign-emmanuel-ekong/) he found Ruud van Nistelrooy’s philosophy and environment positive.<br> |
||||
|
|
||||
|
By the end of the 2024/25 season, Ndidi had made 303 appearances and scored 18 goals in all competitions since joining from Genk in January 2017. |
