Wilfred Ndidi could be on the move again this summer, with growing reports suggesting the Super Eagles midfielder may leave Besiktas just one year after joining the Turkish giants.
The Nigerian international arrived in Istanbul last summer following the end of his long spell with Leicester City and was expected to play a leading role in Besiktas’ push for domestic success. However, things have not gone according to plan for either the player or the club.
Despite producing several solid performances in midfield, Ndidi was unable to help Besiktas mount a serious title challenge as the Black Eagles finished well behind champions Galatasaray at the end of the campaign.
The disappointing season has triggered major changes behind the scenes, with a new coaching regime expected to reshape the squad ahead of the 2026–27 season. Reports in Turkey indicate that Ndidi’s future is now under review, with uncertainty surrounding his place in the club’s long term plans.
While several European clubs have been linked with experienced midfielders this summer, interest in Ndidi has yet to materialise into concrete negotiations. That situation has reportedly opened the door for clubs in the Saudi Pro League, who are believed to be monitoring the Nigerian star’s situation closely.
A move to Saudi Arabia would represent a significant new chapter in the 29-year-old’s career after successful spells in Belgium, England and Turkey. Ndidi remains one of Nigeria’s most experienced players and continues to be an important figure for the national team.
The coming weeks are expected to provide greater clarity on the midfielder’s future as clubs across Europe and the Middle East continue to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
For now, Ndidi’s next destination remains uncertain, but indications suggest that his time at Besiktas could be drawing to a close much sooner than many expected.
