Wilfred Ndidi Set for €9.5M Move to Besiktas, Medical Scheduled Today

By Busterblog.com – August 7, 2025

In a major development that could reshape his football career, Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is set to undergo a medical examination today ahead of his anticipated €9.5 million transfer to Turkish giants Besiktas.

Sources close to the deal confirm that negotiations between Ndidi’s representatives and the Istanbul-based club have reached an advanced stage, with all personal terms agreed. The medical, scheduled to take place at a private facility in Istanbul, is the final hurdle before the deal is officially announced.

Ndidi, who has been a loyal servant for Leicester City since joining them in 2017 from Genk, is now poised for a fresh chapter after the Foxes failed to secure European football this season. With just 12 months left on his current deal, Leicester had little choice but to cash in.

The 28-year-old has been a consistent performer in the heart of midfield, known for his tenacity, ball-winning ability, and tactical intelligence, all of which Besiktas hope will strengthen their spine as they prepare for domestic and continental campaigns.

If successful, this move will make Ndidi one of the most high-profile Super Eagles players in the Turkish Super Lig, joining the likes of Henry Onyekuru, Bright Osayi-Samuel, and Paul Onuachu who have all found success in Turkey.

Fans of both Besiktas and the Nigerian national team will be watching closely today, as Ndidi takes what could be the next big step in a career already marked by discipline and excellence.
