The champions of the Italian Serie A Napoli have started plans towards strengthening their team for next season by identifying players in key areas after what has been a really good season for the club.
Napoli were crowned champions of the Italian league for the first time in 33 years. A feat they are so keen to match next season and possibly go a step further in the UEFA Champions League after the disappointment of losing out in the semi-final this season.
Despite the departure of coach Luciano Spalletti, the hierarchy of the club are still going ahead with plans for next season while negotiations on who will lead the team is also going on.
Nigeria international midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is high on their priority list in the midfield department. The Nigerian will be available on a cheap price with a year left on his deal and also the relegation of Leicester City from the English Premier League.
According to online French publication Footmercato, an approach for the 26 year old will be finalized in the coming days with Napoli willing to place a bid of €10m for his signing. The only likely stumbling block could be his high wage based on what he is earning at Leicester City.
