Everton have set an asking price for Man City transfer target Iliman Ndiaye, according to reports.
The Daily Mail claim £80m “may be enough” to convince the Toffees into selling the Senegalese international this summer.
It is believed that the Cityzens, Manchester United and Arsenal are all keen admirers of Ndiaye, with the three clubs looking for reinforcements out wide.
The 26-year-old is currently not top of the shortlist for any of these teams, but that could still change before the transfer window closes.
Ndiaye wants to stay in the Premier League
The forward has recently been the subject of interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, but he turned down the move as he is keen to remain in the English top flight.
Ndiaye has also refused to sign a new contract with Everton, and that has prompted further speculation about his future, even though the player still has just under three years remaining on his current deal.
Why are Man City interested in the winger?
Manager Enzo Maresca could lose two forwards, with the futures of Jack Grealish and Savinho very much up in the air.
Grealish spent last season on loan at Everton, and David Moyes is keen to bring him back to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, although the Toffees haven’t returned to the negotiating table so far this summer.
Savinho looks more certain to leave the Etihad. The Brazilian has reportedly requested a transfer, and Tottenham remain in talks to secure his signature, but they have yet to match the player’s asking price, which is said to be £85m.
If the pair do depart Manchester, there is a chance that an approach will be made for Ndiaye, although there are no guarantees at this stage.
