Everton could sell Iliman Ndiaye this summer transfer window.
Al Hilal are in talks to sign Ndiaye, and it’s understood that the Everton star is open to joining the Saudi Pro League side.
Ndiaye did indicate earlier this year that he wants to stay and win silverware for the Toffees, but it seems that stance has softened somewhat.
Everton fans have been reacting to his potential departure on our Facebook page and on TalkingPoints.
Al-Hilal have opened talks to sign Iliman Ndiaye! What do we make of this, Everton fans? 😳
How much should Everton be demanding, or should he be deemed untransferable? 🤔
Everton fans aren’t too concerned if Iliman Ndiaye leaves
Interestingly, Everton supporters don’t seem too concerned at the prospect of Ndiaye leaving the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Many feel he could generate substantial funds and that could be allocated across multiple areas of the squad.
- “If Morgan Rogers is worth £117 million then Ndiaye is worth £150 million.”
- “If they bid £100-£120 mill then bye-bye, but we have to reinvest the money we need RB a decent LB a prolific striker and 2 midfielders.”
- “If Summerville went for £70 million, then an AFCON champion and playing for a top half team must be pushing £90-100 million…”
- “TBH if they agree personal terms with him then they will likely bid around £70 million. We could say not enough, and they would likely walk away. We would then be left with an unhappy player. I doubt any Prem team will bid that much. So I think £70 million and he will be gone.”
- “80m, get a LB, RB and a striker and possibly Jack back. I personally don’t think he’s the world beater like a lot of fans think.”
- “Good player, never a great player. Get top dollar and get a top striker. Happy days!”
- “Don’t care as long as we get top dollar.”
- “If, and only if, big, big money is put on the table should they accept. Win both ways, by keeping him or accepting serious dough which you can use to enhance multiple areas of the squad.”
Ndiaye didn’t have a great second half of the season as he netted just two goals in 16 Premier League games.
The former Sheffield United talisman looked a shadow of himself in truth, so perhaps cashing in now for huge profit wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Indeed, The Friedkin Group must ensure Ndiaye is replaced adequately; otherwise, this deal makes no sense for the club.
Everton News looked at three possible replacements for Ndiaye, including two domestic targets and one abroad.
