However, Besiktas believe Ndidi is worth significantly more and is reportedly demanding approximately €10 million before considering any transfer.

The Turkish side are unwilling to lower their asking price despite growing interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and across Europe.

Ndidi joined Besiktas on a free transfer from Leicester City last summer after the expiration of his contract in England.

The Nigerian midfielder quickly became an important figure in the squad. Although injuries disrupted parts of his campaign, he still featured in 31 matches across all competitions, scoring two goals and registering one assist.
