Juventus, who are looking to rebuild their squad after a disappointing campaign, see Ndidi as a potential long-term solution in the middle of the park.

As the summer transfer window approaches, the pursuit of the Super Eagles midfielder is sure to be one of the key storylines for Juventus and their rivals, as they all seek to strengthen their rosters for the upcoming season.
