The only offer that would tempt Iliman Ndiaye to quit Everton after 'outrageous' David Moyes admission

Iliman Ndiaye showed his importance to Everton once again at the weekend, but his future remains a topic of debate.

The Senegal international set up Thierno Barry for Everton's second goal of the game in a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Ndiaye led the way with three key passes and two shots on target in a performance that highlighted why he is so important to David Moyes.

Moyes admitted last week that it would take an "outrageous offer" for Ndiaye to leave Everton.

That is amid interest in the winger from the Saudi Pro League earlier in the window.

Ndiaye was not interested in making the switch, despite the massive wages on offer, but a different type of offer may be more tempting.

What would it take for Iliman Ndiaye to quit Everton?

Ndiaye has been linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and indeed Liverpool among others this window.

That is no real surprise as, despite tailing off in the latter stages of last season, the 26-year-old has been superb for Everton.

But is there any risk of Ndiaye still leaving Everton before next week's deadline?

Patrick Boyland points out in his piece for The Athletic that Ndiaye "dreams of playing in the Champions League".

That is said to be the "main reason" a move to big-money move to Al-Hilal did not appeal.

Everton are aware of interest from Premier League clubs but do not want to sell, although they have looked at potential alternatives out wide.

The worry, then, is that if a team competing in the Champions League comes in for Ndiaye over the next week, the player may want a move.

What bargaining power do Everton have when it comes to Ndiaye sale?

Ndiaye may want the move, but Everton would ultimately have to sign off on it.

The fact he still has three years to run on his contract at Hill Dickinson Stadium means all the power is with Everton.

Exactly how much it would take for Everton to sell Ndiaye is unknown, but it would have to be a seriously high offer.

The hope, of course, is that all this does not matter and no Champions League clubs come in with a bid.

If that does happen, though, it could set up a tense conclusion to the window for Evertonians.
