There have been some big developments at Everton over the last 24 hours.
Most notably, the news that broke on Sunday evening, which claimed that Al Hilal are in talks to sign Iliman Ndiaye.
The Saudi Pro League giants have just signed Crysencio Summerville from West Ham United, and now they want Ndiaye to be their next statement addition.
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? 🤔
Interestingly, Everton fans aren’t too concerned if Ndiaye leaves, as the Senegal international wasn’t great in the second half of last season.
Toffees supporters have been discussing how much the club should be demanding for the 25-year-old, and the minimum figure is clear.
Everton fans want no less than £80m to sell Iliman Ndiaye
We’ve asked our Facebook page users how much Everton should ask for Ndiaye’s signature, and the general consensus is no less than £80m.
Many also feel the Friedkins shouldn’t sanction his sale unless a £100m bid comes in.
- “Last time we sold a player to Saudi league, we sold for less than he was worth. Hopefully 100m this time.”
- “85m. Consider Gordon and Rogers’ price received, and he is as good, if not better.”
- “Current market £100m.”
- “80million.”
- “100m, then get a 40-year-old replacement from the Sunday league….that’s the Everton way.”
- “100mill and he’s theirs.”
- “I’d say £80m.”
When there was reported Premier League interest in Ndiaye earlier this year, it was claimed that Everton valued him at around £75m.
As one fan referenced above, considering Rogers was sold for £117m to Chelsea, it’s reasonable for the club to demand at least £90m.
He is under contract until 2029 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, so the Merseysiders are in a really strong negotiating position.
Although, Ndiaye has rejected multiple contract offers from Everton recently, so they may be forced to sell within the next 12 months to ensure they get maximum value.
A telling five weeks remain of the summer transfer window.
