As Ivan Ndika prepares to play in the World Cup, tottenhamNewcastle United and Bournemouth are interested in signing him.
The Ivory Coast defender has been one of AS Roma's best players since joining in 2023. In the 2025/26 campaign, he played over 40 times in all competitions, playing a big role in their return to the Champions League for the first time in five years.
Continuity has been Ndika's hallmark and has attracted the interest of several English clubs in the past. sports witness His position, which was quite secure till last year, has been covered extensively.
Now, Roma may be forced into a sale for FFP reasons. Tottenham, Newcastle United and Bournemouth have been said to take advantage.
Player can receive calls
gazzetta dello sport According to reports the Ivorian could be very busy during the World Cup. This is not just because he will be important for the national team, but also because clubs are likely to come calling for him. He is ready to receive the call and Roma may have to sell him by June 30.
Ndika is a target for Tottenham, Newcastle United and Bournemouth. Neither of them will play in the Champions League but the newspaper believes they have the money to sign him.
There is also a growing perception that his time at Roma is over. The Italian side are currently valued at €40m, but they may be happy to negotiate.
The main reason for this is that they signed him on a free transfer in 2023. Whatever they earn from his sale will be reduced as capital gains and this will greatly help Roma meet their disposal demands with FFP in the summer.
Tottenham may not need Ndika
The 26-year-old has done a lot to take the big step. His ability on the ball, recovery and leadership have always been exceptional, making him a complete defender.
At the same time, Tottenham may not really need him. Jan Paul Van Hecke is expected to arrive, Marcos Senesi has already joined.
As a result, a move to Newcastle United or Bournemouth would make more sense for Ndika. Cherries have parted ways with Senesi and the Ivorian could come in as an upgrade.
Considering Sven Botman's regular injury concerns, he will add much-needed depth to the Magpies.
