As things stand, this is no more than a watching brief. Manchester City are reported to be keeping an eye on Iliman Ndiaye, the 26-year-old Senegal attacker, with a possible future move in mind. There is no concrete bid, no contact, and no advanced negotiations of any kind. Ndiaye is tied to Everton until June 2029, so City would need to do serious work — and spend serious money — to prise him away. The fee under discussion ranges from £54.5m to £77m, comfortably above his roughly £47m valuation. The sourcing here is thin and honest about itself. This rests on a single link from Foot Mercato, a reasonably reliable outlet, but framed explicitly as speculative monitoring. No benchmark reporter has put their name to it, and nothing has been corroborated elsewhere. Treat it as a flicker of interest, not a developing story. The engine's 12% reflects that reality: a genuine longshot. For this to complete, the flicker would need to become real contact, then a bid that clears Everton's resistance for a player they signed only recently and locked down on a long contract. Right now none of that exists, which is exactly why the number sits so low. For context, Everton have sold big before — to Man Utd for £72m in 2017, to Tottenham for £49m in 2022, and to Aston Villa for £50m. The figures floated here sit squarely in that bracket, so the money would not be out of keeping. Everton themselves only paid Marseille £15m for Ndiaye in 2024. Watch for the first sign of a concrete approach: a formal bid, or a second credible voice confirming genuine talks.
