With Everton missing out on Europe, they are now in a vulnerable position to keep hold of some of their best players.
David Moyes’ side ended the season in dreadful form and thus finished 13th in the Premier League table.
Naturally, that will result in many of their star players being linked with a move away from the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Are there any players from the relegated clubs you want to see Everton go after this summer? 🤔
Wolves, Burnley and West Ham have all lost their Premier League status…
That said, it’s already come out that Iliman Ndiaye is refusing to sign a new contract after snubbing several attempts from Everton to extend his stay.
Now, it’s emerging that Manchester City are eyeing a move for Ndiaye.
Enzo Maresca wants to sign Everton star Iliman Ndiaye
Pep Guardiola is leaving Man City, and former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is set to be appointed as his replacement.
It’s already being reported that Maresca has his sights set on making Ndiaye his first signing for the Citizens.
That’s according to Alan Nixon, who understands City are considering the Senegal international to boost their squad depth.
How much would it take for Everton to accept a bid for Iliman Ndiaye? 💷
David Moyes said every player has his price… 😫
Maresca values his versatility, as the 26-year-old can operate off both flanks and as an attacking midfielder.
Nixon notes that the potential transfer could depend on whether they find a move for Omar Marmoush after his disappointing campaign.
Everton want offers of around £70m for Ndiaye, so that could be a major stumbling block for Man City as well.
Speaking earlier this year, Ndiaye did state that he’s happy on Merseyside.
“As I always say, if there are rumours or interest and things like that, it must mean you’re doing something right, right?!
“I am really happy to be at this club and be part of a new project with the new stadium, new ownership.”
