Liverpool Joins Arsenal and Man United in Talks for Iliman Ndiaye Transfer

The market for wingers this summer has been tough, but one name is generating considerable buzz. Iliman Ndiaye, valued around £75 million, is attracting attention from Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal.

The Senegal international currently plays for Everton and has shown no enthusiasm to move to Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal after initial discussions stalled. It appears Ndiaye wants to stay in England’s top flight.

Everton and the Player’s Position

While Ndiaye isn’t aggressively pushing for a transfer, Everton are aware that his representatives have been in contact with other teams. The club’s asking price remains high, which could complicate potential deals.

Interest from Arsenal and Manchester United

Arsenal have looked at Ndiaye as a possible alternative to Vinicius Junior, especially after missing out on Morgan Rogers. Rumors suggest they might revisit interest in Bradley Barcola, which will influence their next steps regarding Ndiaye.

Manchester United admire Ndiaye and want proven Premier League talent, but the £75 million price tag may be a sticking point.

Surprising Liverpool Involvement

Industry insiders confirm that Liverpool are seriously considering Ndiaye, despite it being uncommon for them to pursue a player from local rivals Everton. This could be linked to difficulties in securing Barcola or a strategy to pressure PSG over their asking price for another target.

Direct conversations between Liverpool and Ndiaye’s camp have taken place, hinting that talks might advance further.

“Liverpool, Man United, and Arsenal have all held talks with Ndiaye’s camp,” a source revealed. “Everton want £75m, which is too high, but it’ll be one to watch because the player is really keen to get a move. He’s decided against the Saudi option as he wants to keep playing at the highest level. I highly doubt Everton would sell to Liverpool, and there have been no club-to-club talks yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the asking price ended up being far higher for them.”

Looking Ahead

The focus on Bradley Barcola seems to have quieted down recently, which may explain why Ndiaye's situation is coming back into the spotlight. How the Barcola saga unfolds could impact whether this transfer story gains momentum.
