Fulham are weighing up whether to trigger Wilfred Niddi’s release clause this summer after Leicester City were relegated to the Championship, according to reports from Italy.

The Nigerian international is available for £9m under the terms of his Foxes contract, but a clutch of clubs have yet to make a move for the holding midfielder. Various reports this afternoon suggest the 28 year-old, who has made 303 appearances in nine years at the King Power Stadium, is hoping to receive an offer from Manchester United but since the Red Devils are reportedly prioritising a push for another Fulham target in Douglas Luiz, he may be disappointed.

According to Tuttosport, the Whites have watched the former Genk man for a number of years but could face competition from Juventus and a number of other sides who are well aware of a cut-price deal for the defensive midfielder, including Everton and Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.
