A potential return to England is being discussed for Nigerian defensive midfielder Wilfred Ndidi. Hull City and Manchester United are among the clubs attentive to his situation, and some Saudi Arabian teams are also monitoring him. It is reported that Besiktas would require nearly 8 million euros to consider a departure for the 29-year-old, who has a contract until 2028. Despite the transfer speculation, the midfielder is expected to join the Turkish club for their pre-season camp in Slovakia. Ndidi has 79 caps and has scored 1 goal for Nigeria. In February 2026, it was reported that Beşiktaş rejected a loan from Ajax that included a €12 million purchase option. Ndidi joined the Turkish club from Leicester City in August 2025 for a fee of €8 million.
