Manchester City have officially added Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye to their transfer shortlist, intensifying competition for one of the Premier League’s most versatile attackers.
Transfer journalist Ben Jacobs broke the news on X, confirming that Manchester City have registered genuine interest in the Senegal international.
Everton are under no pressure to sell, with the club holding significant leverage thanks to Ndiaye’s long-term contract at Goodison Park.
The Toffees have slapped an £80 million price tag on the 26-year-old, making any potential deal a major financial commitment for interested parties.
Arsenal have also been closely monitoring Ndiaye’s situation, though their primary attacking target remains Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez, according to Jacobs.
Liverpool have entered the conversation as well, with reports confirming the Reds have already held talks to explore the parameters of a potential transfer.
Ndiaye’s ability to operate at high tempo across multiple positions makes him an appealing fit for Liverpool’s dynamic and demanding style of play.
Manchester United have also been linked with the forward as they continue searching for technical quality and creativity in the final third.
With four major Premier League clubs circling, a significant bidding war could develop quickly should Everton decide to open formal negotiations.
Ndiaye’s appeal is rooted in his remarkable versatility, as he can function effectively as a central attacking midfielder, second striker, or wide forward.
Across his senior career, the former Marseille man has accumulated 43 goals and 23 assists in 207 appearances for club football.
His record includes 22 goals and 14 assists across 88 appearances for Sheffield United, where he first established himself as a top-flight talent.
Since joining Everton, Ndiaye has continued his development, registering 17 goals and 4 assists across 73 appearances at Goodison Park.
A stint at Marseille produced a further 4 goals and 5 assists from 46 appearances, rounding out a consistent and productive senior career so far.
At £80 million, Everton are positioning Ndiaye firmly in the elite bracket, though multiple top clubs clearly believe his ceiling justifies that valuation.
