Having said that, Leicester City have slapped a €50 million price tag on the 24-year-old and it is unlikely that Barcelona will be able to afford the sum this summer. However, the report adds that the Catalan giants could instead make a move for Ndidi next summer, when he is unlikely to cost as much as €50 million. For now, it looks like a move for Ndidi might be put on the back-burner, which is not surprising considering Busquets’ exploits this season. However, it remains to be seen if Barcelona do make a move for a holding midfielder this summer.
