Iliman Ndiaye potential next club amid Everton exit talk

Iliman Ndiaye's impressive performances for Everton have attracted the attention of several top clubs, including Manchester City.

The Senegal international is busy preparing for the World Cup, but speculation is rife that he could be leaving the Toffees this summer as interest in him ramps up.

The 26-year-old has just enjoyed a fine campaign for the Merseysiders, scoring six goals and weighing in with three assists in the Premier League, and his form has alerted others with a big-money summer move now on the cards.

Everton are in no mood to sell one of their top players, who is under contract until 2029, but they may struggle to turn down a sizeable bid for the former Marseille and Sheffield United man.

Amid reports Ndiaye has turned down an offer of a new contract from Everton, we've taken a look at four potential destinations should he move on this summer.

Manchester City

Ndiaye is said to be high on City's wanted list with incoming boss Enzo Maresca and director of football Hugo Viana set to work together to reshape the squad following Pep Guardiola's departure.

Long-serving star Bernardo Silva's exit means there is room for more fresh creative talent at the Etihad and Ndiaye has plenty of admirers at City.

His ability to play on either flank or in the No.10 role would be a huge asset to City, who are looking for a versatile forward to complement their attacking options.

The Premier League runners-up already have the likes of Rayan Cherki, Jeremy Doku and Antoine Semenyo, but there would be room in their squad for Ndiaye and they could be ready to test Everton's resolve to keep him by submitting a large offer.

Manchester United

If Ndiaye does decide to inform Everton of his desire to leave, it seems likely he will stay in the Premier League and a switch to Manchester United has also been suggested.

The Red Devils are keen to add a left-winger to their squad this summer and have held an interest in Ndiaye for some time.

News of City potentially coming in for the Everton ace could force the Old Trafford club into making a move for the Senegal star, who would offer competition to Matheus Cunha and Patrick Dorgu down the left.

Tottenham Hotspur

After staying up on the final weekend of the season, Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi knows he needs to improve his squad for the 2026-27 season.

Ndiaye has plenty of Premier League experience under his belt, racking up 66 appearances while at Everton, and he would be an interesting addition to Spurs' ranks as they look to a brighter future with the former Brighton boss in charge.

Ndiaye is thought to be open to working with De Zerbi, despite the winger opting to leave Marseille just after the Italian was appointed in charge of the French club in the summer of 2024.

Liverpool

Liverpool are another of the clubs who have Ndiaye on their radar and the Reds are in the market for new forwards this summer following Mohamed Salah's exit, while the future of Cody Gakpo at Anfield has been thrown into doubt after a disappointing campaign from the Dutchman.

Liverpool were linked with Ndiaye in January, but that was when Arne Slot was in charge and it remains to be seen if new boss Andoni Iraola is interested in him as he assesses the squad he's inherited before strengthening.

A straight switch from Everton to Liverpool would be controversial and it looks unlikely Everton would sanction a sale to their bitter rivals.
