According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, all three clubs have intensified their interest and submitted offers for the 27-year-old Nigerian international.

Previously reported by Foot Mercato, Lyon aimed to swiftly secure a deal for Ndidi, but despite submitting an offer, they have yet to succeed.

AS Monaco is reportedly interested in acquiring the player, whose contract with Leicester expires at the end of the month.

However, the Foxes are eager to extend his tenure at the King Power Stadium.

Despite facing injuries throughout the 2023/24 Championship season, Ndidi played a pivotal role in Leicester’s promotion to the Premier League.

The Foxes topped the table with 97 points, edging out second-placed Ipswich Town by just one point to secure the second automatic promotion spot.

Ndidi made the move to Leicester from Genk in 2016 for a fee of £17 million. Since then, he has tallied 11 goals across 224 appearances for the Foxes.
