Paris Saint-Germain have joined Manchester United in the race to land Leicester star Wilfred Ndidi, according to reports.

The Foxes star is hot property this summer following another excellent season marshalling Brendan Rodgers’ midfield.

His dominant displays sparked speculation that United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was ready to make his move at the end of the season.

They were backed by Red Devils legend Rio Ferdinand who urged the boss to land the Nigerian and add steel to the squad.

But according to ESPN, their task has been made even more difficult with French champions PSG interested.

The mega-rich side are in the market to land a midfield enforcer and have Ndidi at the top of their shortlist.

PSG have also identified Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Partey and Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko as potential targets.

Signing Ndidi will not come cheap with the player contracted at the King Power until 2024.

Leicester landed him for £17million in 2016 and will demand at least £45m for his signature.

Just last month Ndidi revealed how he has no plans to leave East Midlands in the immediate future.

He told ESPN: “We are doing well and I am enjoying myself here. I still have a contract with Leicester.

“I am learning and trying to improve myself every day and I am doing okay here so no need to go anywhere.”
