Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is available for a £9m relegation release clause this summer.
The 28-year-old’s clause was activated last weekend when the Foxes lost 1-0 to now-champions Liverpool and were relegated to the Championship with five games to go.
Leicester have since lost 3-0 away at Wolves and the Nigeria international is among several members of the squad now considering his future.
The Midlands club feel well placed to revamp the squad with release clauses rare at the King Power Stadium and only three players out of contract – goalkeepers Daniel Iversen and Danny Ward, along with legendary striker Jamie Vardy, who has announced he will leave Leicester after 13 glorious years at the club.
Ndidi, meanwhile, had interest from clubs like Marseille and Everton while available on a free transfer last summer.
However, Leicester managed to sign Ndidi to a new three-year deal last summer. He was signed in 2017 in a £17m deal from Genk, but the pressure from interested parties likely led to the inclusion of a release clause as part of his most recent deal.
Ndidi has won an FA Cup and the Championship last season while at Leicester and has played 27 times in all competitions during this campaign.
