Brendan Rodgers hopes to sign Wilfred Ndidi as one of his first acquisitions at the club.
During Rodgers’ tenure as manager of Leicester City, the pair collaborated.
On Monday, Rodgers, who was fired by Leicester City in the second half of last season, was named Celtic manager for the second time.
The Hoops have given the Irishman a substantial transfer budget in order to compete with the greatest clubs in Europe.
According to the Daily Mail, Ndidi is one of the gaffer’s top objectives this summer.
Following Leicester City’s relegation from the Premier League last season, the 26-year-old could be open to a move.
The Foxes have one year left on his deal with the Nigerian international.
In 2018, the defensive midfielder joined the King Power Stadium from Belgian Pro League club Genk in a £17 million transfer.
Ndidi was a member of Rodgers’ team that won the FA Cup in 2021 and finished fifth in the league twice.
