Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has expressed the club’s desire to keep Wilfred Ndidi.
Ligue 1 club AS Monaco and Spanish outfit Atletico Madrid have firm interest in the Nigeria international.
Speaking to BBC, Van Nistelrooy insisted Ndidi remains a crucial player for the club.
“No, of course not,” Van Nistelrooy replied when asked if Ndidi could leave.
“Wilfred is a key player and person in the squad and in the club and I’m glad he is nearly there to help the team again.
“We know how much we’ve missed him and we know we need him. Wilf is key in the coming months, a key part of this team that can get us out of this situation.”
The Nigeria international penned a new three-year contract with the Foxes last summer.
The midfielder registered three assists in 15 league appearances for Leicester City’ this season.
