Wilfred Ndidi will only join a top Premier League club or seek a move outside England at the end of the season.
Ndidi, 27, will become a free agent this summer after running down his contract at Leicester City.
The defensive midfielder has attracted the interest of clubs within and outside England.
According to SCORENigeria, the player will only remain in England if he gets the chance to play for one of the top six clubs.
Ndidi has enjoyed a successful campaign with Leicester City despite his injury struggles.
The Nigeria international has scored six goals across all competitions for the Foxes.
Enzo Maresca’s side are on the verge of promotion to the Premier League after their relegation last season.
They are four points clear at the top of the standings with two rounds of matches to the end of the regular season.
