Super Eagles stand-in captain and free agent, Wilfred Ndidi has rejected a contract offer from Sevilla.
SportingSun sourced on Estadio Deportivo, who informed that the midfielder’s wage demands made a move to the Spanish LaLiga side difficult at this moment in time.
Sevilla was one of the clubs seeking the services of the Nigerian and Estadio explained that they made a contract offer, which was quickly rejected.
The Spanish club have ‘tried to really go’ for the footballer, offering him a contract worth €1.5m per season plus a prorated signing bonus paid out over the years of his contract.
Ndidi rejected the proposal, though, as it represented a major drop from the €4.5m a year he was earning at Leicester. He wants to maintain that, or even improve on it, presumably, and so Sevilla’s offer was turned down.
He represents an ‘impossible mission’ for Sevilla according to Estadio, who also say that other linked clubs such as Real Betis or Barcelona may also struggle to get him because of his wage demands.
