FC Barcelona has had considerable success in recent years with its free-agent signings, despite the fact that they were compelled to adopt this approach due to their precarious financial situation. The club has acquired some excellent players for no cost, and some of them have even produced a profit.
For instance, because their contracts had expired, Ilkay Gundogan, Andreas Christensen, and Franck Kessie all joined the Catalan club for free. At Barcelona, Gundogan and Christensen have both achieved great success, and the Blaugranes made money this summer when they sold Kessie to a Saudi team.
With this accomplishment, the club hopes to keep up this policy and is aware that some top players have contracts that expire at the end of this year. Wilfred Ndidi, a midfielder for Leicester City, is one of the players the Catalans are keeping an eye on, according to SPORT.Ndidi is a highly sought-after player due to his power and passing ability, which are used primarily as a pivot in front of the defense.The 26-year-old Nigerian’s contract expires next summer, and several European teams approached him as his team was being demoted from the Premier League the previous year.Bayern entered into talks with Leicester to sign him, but the cost was too exorbitant for a player whose contract was about to expire. Juventus and Atletico Madrid also showed interest in him and contacted his support group.Barcelona has been keeping an eye on him for some time, and when Leicester wanted €70 million for him, the Blaugranes already made an approach for him.Ndidi will undoubtedly be one of the most sought-after players next summer due to his caliber, experience, and upcoming freedom, and Barcelona will have to outbid other top teams to sign him.
