Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have made a move for Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye, according to TEAMtalk. The offer has alerted other Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United, to the Senegal international’s situation.
Al-Hilal have identified Ndiaye as a priority attacking target as they continue to bolster their squad following the recent signing of Crysencio Summerville. Despite already strengthening their attacking options, the Saudi club are determined to add another high-profile wide forward to their ranks.
Both Manchester United and Liverpool have previously monitored Ndiaye, and that interest has not waned, sources have confirmed. However, Everton are currently in a strong negotiating position, with Ndiaye still having three years remaining on his contract at Goodison Park. The club are reportedly prepared to open talks regarding an improved long-term contract to reward the player for his importance to David Moyes’ plans.
Mohamed Salah remains Al-Hilal’s primary target, but with uncertainty surrounding the Egyptian’s potential move, the Saudi club are pursuing alternative options. Alongside Summerville, Ndiaye has emerged as a leading name on their shortlist, with Chelsea’s Pedro Neto also being considered.
Liverpool are seeking further attacking reinforcements and view Ndiaye as an attractive option on the right side of their attack, particularly if they fail to secure Bradley Barcola. His creativity and Premier League experience are seen as valuable assets. Manchester United are also tracking the situation, searching for a “versatile forward” capable of playing across the frontline, and Ndiaye fits that profile, as does his Senegal teammate Ismaila Sarr.
Everton, however, are currently determined to retain Ndiaye, viewing him as a key component of David Moyes’ rebuilding project at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
