Sevilla director of football Victor Orta has turned his attention to Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi, with Boubakary Soumare likely to be too expensive.
That’s according to Vamos Mi Sevilla, who cover information from journalist Fernando Serrano, who insists Orta is pushing to get Ndidi on a free transfer.
They explain that the midfield is one of the most important positions being looked at by Sevilla in the summer and while they want to sign Soumare, who is currently on loan at the club from Leicester, his €15m purchase clause is too high.
That’s because he’s set to be available on a free transfer in the summer after making a decision not to sign a new deal with Leicester.
He’s been having a great season in the Championship with them this year and Orta is now ‘pushing’ to get him signed to a deal ahead of potential competition.
Whether he will be successful in that attempt remains to be seen, with Ndidi surely set to have numerous suitors, but it seems he will be attempting to win the race in the coming months.
