Transfer rumours: Ndidi to Bayern, Elvedi to Everton, Guendouzi to Marseille
Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are reportedly aiming to hijack Nottingham Forest's proposed deal for Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.
The Nigeria international has been expected to depart the King Power Stadium following the Foxes' relegation to the Championship and was believed to be on the verge of moving to the City Ground.
However, according to Football Insider, Bayern could throw a late spanner into the works, as Thomas Tuchel's side have also shortlisted Ndidi as a potential midfield target.
The Bavarians are thought to be searching far and wide for a defensive midfielder before Friday's transfer deadline, and Ndidi would be a cheaper alternative to Fulham's Joao Palhinha.
The report states that Forest may not be able to compete with Bayern's financial muscle, although Leicester only have Ndidi under contract until 2024 and therefore cannot demand an extortionate fee.
The 26-year-old boasts 12 goals and 12 assists in 242 matches for Leicester since joining from Genk in 2017, and he has already played five times for Enzo Maresca's side this season.
Over at Goodison Park, Everton are allegedly in talks to sign Borussia Monchengladbach defender Nico Elvedi.
The 26-year-old is also due to become a free agent at the end of the 2023-24 campaign, although his contract does include an extension option based on performances.
Elvedi started 32 Bundesliga matches for Monchengladbach last season, but he has not played a single minute for the German club this summer in anticipation of a move away.
Monchengladbach's sporting director Roland Virkus revealed earlier this summer that Elvedi wanted to seek out a new challenge elsewhere, and according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Goodison Park could be his next destination.
