Manchester City agree deal to sign Everton star Iliman Ndiaye
Everton will be quids in after Ndiaye's exit either way, but the pressure from City has increased their fortunes.
The Athletic's David Ornstein claimed on Monday that a £65million deal had been agreed in principle - so potentially £5m more for Everton.
His report stated that the Senegal international is set to undergo a medical on Tuesday.
It states that club source insist that Ndiaye has acted professionally all summer, despite the exit talk.
A further update from The Times' Paul Joyce broke down the fee, with a £60m initial payment and an extra potential £5m in add-ons.
Will Everton be in a better position after Ndiaye exit?
Michael Keane has already reminded Everton of Ndiaye's quality, as he labelled him as "incredible" in November.
However, the numbers that he put up last season are not that impressive, he notched six goals and three assists in 32 matches.
Jack Grealish, who is close to sealing a return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium managed less goals with two, but more assists with six in 20 games.
If Richarlison also comes in, then he notched 12 goals and five assists in 43 matches last season.
Therefore, the Blues would be adding more goals and assists than they have lost, while also making money on the departing forward.
It remains to be seen whether David Moyes' side can close both of those deals, but if they can, the squad may well be in a better position.
The Friedkin Group and Moyes have ambitions to push for a European berth, this may help them to achieve it, sooner than they would have hoped.
