‘I don’t see Iliman Ndiaye leaving after what The Friedkin Group do at Everton’
Dan Friedkin won’t be forced into selling Iliman Ndiaye at Everton in the winter transfer window.
BBC journalist Giulia Bould believes that with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) no longer an issue at the Toffees, the Senegal international won’t be going anywhere in January.
Juventus are the latest team interested in Ndiaye, with the forward taking his performances to the next level at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
David Moyes has another in-form winger in Jack Grealish pulling the strings up front, with the Blues fans surely hoping for European qualification at the end of the season.
Everton to follow Jarrad Branthwaite example with Iliman Ndiaye
Manchester United wanted to sign Jarrad Branthwaite in the summer, but the Toffees didn’t give in.
By knocking back approaches for the centre-back and tying him down to a new contract, The Friedkin Group (TFG) have already shown ambition at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, Bould says.
While the BBC journalist understands top clubs are eyeing Ndiaye, it doesn’t look like the Merseyside outfit will be bullied into selling him.
Bould wrote in BBC Sport on 14 November: “Someone who is getting an ‘A’ for performances is Ndiaye, who is on four goals and one assist. He has been first-class for Everton again this season and is, understandably, attracting attention from clubs across Europe.”
The BBC journalist added: “But as The Friedkin Group have shown already with Branthwaite, they won’t be forced into selling their star man. With PSR no longer an issue, I don’t see the Senegal winger leaving in the new year.”
Ndiaye could potentially be the key to success at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, making his continuity at the Blues imperative if they want to achieve something special in the coming years.
David Moyes has already given Iliman Ndiaye transfer verdict
Ndiaye may have to force his way out of the Hill Dickinson Stadium if he wants to join one of the more successful teams around Europe.
Moyes seems to have no intention of letting the Senegal international leave Everton anytime soon, with his contract expiring in 2029.
Speaking in a press conference on 7 November, the Scottish manager said: “Ili’s got a three-and-a-half-year deal here, maybe more. We’re building a team and we want to build with players like Ili, so we’ve got no intention of letting him go.”
Fans in L4 will certainly hope the 25-year-old stays in Merseyside for years to come, but if he continues to shine, bigger things undoubtedly await him.
