Everton have no intention of selling Iliman Ndiaye this summer
Everton have absolutely no plans to sell Iliman Ndiaye this summer, despite growing noise around his future.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the club have not placed a valuation on Iliman Ndiaye and have shown no willingness to discuss a fee with interested parties. The report suggests David Moyes’ side see no reason to entertain offers at this stage, with the winger contracted at the Hill Dickinson until 2029 — three years still to run beyond this season.
That contract length hands Everton very good leverage. There’s no pressure to sell, no relegation-enforced fire sale, and no obvious need to cash in on a player who scored six goals and added three assists in the Premier League last season while ranking among the division’s most productive dribblers.
The stance comes amid reported interest from Manchester United and Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, who are said to have already agreed personal terms with the 26-year-old.
Other reports this week have floated valuations north of £70m, with some suggesting Everton could hold out for closer to £90m if a move is to happen at all. None of that changes the underlying picture reported by the Echo: no valuation set, no fee discussed, no urgency on Everton’s part.
