Mainz and Hoffenheim are reportedly interested in Leicester City’s Wilfried Ndidi (28), with a further unnamed Bundesliga club also monitoring the player’s situation according to Sky Sports journalist Rob Dorsett.

Following the Foxes relegation from the Premier League, the Nigerian’s release clause sits at £9m.

Mainz and Hoffenheim’s interest also comes days after Florian Plettenberg reported that unnamed Bundesliga clubs are monitoring Ndidi, but it now appears that the aforementioned duo are the two clubs interested.

The 28-year-old arrived at Leicester City from KRC Genk in January 2017 for €17.6m and went on to make 220 Premier League appearances for the Foxes. The Nigerian defensive-midfielder also played four times in the Champions League after Leicester had won the Premier League title in 2016, and saw a market value high of €60m – which has now declined to €16m.

Dorsett also claimed that it would take £25m for Leicester City to consider selling Bilal El Khannouss. Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig showed an interest in signing the Moroccan last year.
