Liverpool Among Clubs Interested in Iliman Ndiaye Transfer Talks

Iliman Ndiaye aims to remain in the Premier League, attracting interest from Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal. The winger market is challenging this summer, yet Ndiaye’s situation stands out given his £75 million valuation.

After other transfer targets fell through, reliable sources confirm that all three top clubs have engaged in discussions regarding the Senegal international. Ndiaye currently plays for Everton and has decided not to pursue a move to Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal following initial negotiations.

Although Ndiaye is not aggressively pushing for an exit, Everton knows the player and his representatives have spoken with various clubs about a potential transfer. Arsenal considered him as a backup option to Vinicius Junior but have yet to finalize their priorities after missing out on Morgan Rogers. Rumors suggest they might return with an offer for Bradley Barcola, so this will impact their pursuit of Ndiaye.

Manchester United admire Ndiaye and favor signing proven Premier League talents. His steep price tag of £75 million could complicate matters for them.

Could Liverpool Make a Surprise Move?

Insiders confirm Liverpool's genuine interest in Ndiaye, despite the rarity of transfers between Merseyside rivals. This may indicate concerns over completing a deal for Barcola or could be a tactic to influence PSG’s valuation of another target.

Though motives remain unclear, Liverpool have reportedly held direct talks with Ndiaye’s camp. This opens the possibility of a more substantial development soon.

“Liverpool, Man United, and Arsenal have all held talks with Ndiaye’s camp,” a source revealed. “Everton wants £75 million, which is high, but the player is eager to move. He rejected the Saudi option to keep playing at the highest level. I doubt Everton would sell to Liverpool, and there have been no club-to-club talks yet, but the asking price might be even higher for them.”

The story quieted around Barcola, which explains why Ndiaye's name has come back into focus. The outcome of the Barcola saga will likely influence how this situation evolves.
