From Dispatch Room
Everton have reportedly placed a hefty valuation on Senegal international Iliman Ndiaye amid growing interest from Manchester United this summer.
According to reports in England, Everton are unwilling to part with the versatile attacker for anything less than **£50 million**, reflecting his importance to the club and his impressive performances since arriving at Goodison Park.
Manchester United are believed to be monitoring Ndiaye as they continue their search for attacking reinforcements. The 26-year-old has attracted attention with his ability to operate across multiple forward positions, combining creativity, pace and direct attacking play.
Everton view Ndiaye as a key figure in their long-term plans and are under no immediate pressure to sell. Club officials reportedly believe his value could rise further if he maintains his current form during the upcoming season.
United’s recruitment team is said to admire Ndiaye’s versatility and work rate, qualities that fit the profile of players being targeted as part of the club’s ongoing rebuild.
While no formal bid has yet been submitted, Everton’s £50 million valuation sends a clear message that any club interested in signing the Senegalese star will need to make a significant financial commitment.
The coming weeks are expected to determine whether Manchester United intensify their pursuit or turn their attention to alternative attacking targets in the transfer market.
