According to TEAMtalk sources, no club has made contact for Iliman Ndiaye since Inter in the summer. Separately, sources close to the situation have indicated a transfer is unlikely. Everton intends to be resolute and has no intention of considering any offers for Ndiaye in January. No specific price tag has been placed on the player because Everton has no intention of selling him. Others have suggested that it would require over £70m for Everton to reluctantly approve a sale.

A report from Footmercato states that Manchester City has made preliminary contact to express interest in Iliman Ndiaye. Man City views him as a versatile forward who could reduce the creative responsibility of Erling Haaland and provide a different option for Pep Guardiola’s attacking system. Guardiola reportedly appreciates Ndiaye’s ability to press aggressively and create space for teammates.

Manchester City has reportedly made inquiries about a potential 2026 transfer for the 25-year-old Senegalese international winger Iliman Ndiaye, following his impressive start to the season at Everton. He has scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in 12 Premier League appearances. Foot Mercato reports that fellow Premier League clubs Tottenham and Liverpool have also shown interest and taken similar steps. Ndiaye joined Everton in July 2024 and has a contract until June 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €35.00m.
