Ndidi could leave Besiktas as Al-Ittihad show interest
Wilfred Ndidi may be on the move after just one season at Beşiktaş, with Saudi club Al-Ittihad reportedly interested in signing the Nigerian midfielder. Reports suggest that Al-Ittihad are considering a formal offer for the player, who has also attracted attention from other Saudi teams. Ndidi has faced fitness issues recently but remains a key figure at Beşiktaş, where he was named one of the club's captains. The potential transfer could mark a swift end to his time in Turkey.
