The Nigeria international will turn 29 in December and is available for a €9m release clause following the Foxes’ relegation from the Premier League in 2024-25.
Ndidi should not be considered as a replacement for Douglas Luiz, as the pair has different skill sets.
There are other Premier League clubs interested in the midfielder and Juventus are waiting for his final decision on his next club.

Ndidi has been playing for Leicester City since 2017, when he completed a €17m transfer from Belgian side Genk. His contract expires in 2027.
Juventus are in talks with another footballer playing in England, Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, who has prioritised a move to Turin this summer and is currently negotiating with the Bianconeri.
Juventus have already made their first summer signing, Jonathan David, who has moved to Turin on a free transfer, signing a five-year deal.

My thoughts: as a Nigerian, I'd dearly love to see another Nigerian play for La Signora, we've not had one since Sunday Oliseh decades ago. But if it is between Ndidi and Osimhen, I'd rather Osimhen. He is a guaranteed 20-25 goal a season player, and one thing that has definitely hurt my beloved Old Lady is a lack of goals. The last time we scored more than 60 goals a season was the last time we won the league, so we do need strikers.
Another thing that worries me about Ndidi is that his fitness in the last two seasons has not been the best. Having said that, when he is in good shape, he is quite good, and would be a great back up to Thuram and Locatelli.
