The 26‑year‑old Senegal international has now rejected four improved contract proposals from Everton, making clear his desire to explore new opportunities, while his representatives have held discussions with Al‑Hilal over personal terms – with reports suggesting a lucrative offer in the region of £270,000‑a‑week has been tabled, though no final agreement has been signed. Al‑Hilal have not yet contacted Everton with an official proposal, leaving negotiations at an early stage.
Everton manager David Moyes has repeatedly stated Ndiaye is “the last person I would consider selling”, and with three years remaining on his contract running until June 2029, the club hold all the negotiating power and face no pressure to sanction a departure. Their asking price is aligned with the £70 million fee Barcelona paid Newcastle United for Anthony Gordon earlier this window, and they will not entertain offers falling short of that figure.
Manchester United continue to monitor Ndiaye as a potential wide option for Michael Carrick’s new‑look attack, but have not made any formal approach and are not expected to advance their interest until they resolve the future of Marcus Rashford. Reports have also claimed Ndiaye views a move to Old Trafford as a “dream destination”, though United face significant competition from Al‑Hilal’s financial muscle.
Ndiaye joined Everton from Marseille in summer 2024 for an initial fee of £15–17 million, and has since established himself as a key player – scoring six goals and registering three assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season, while also featuring prominently for Senegal at the 2026 World Cup. A sell‑on clause entitles Marseille to 10 % of any profit Everton make from his sale.
