Man City agree £65m deal for Everton's Ndiaye

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Iliman Ndiaye from Everton, agreeing a deal worth a minimum of £60 million. The French midfielder, who has been a regular in the Premier League since joining Everton in 2020, will join City on a long‑term contract that will see him compete for a place in Pep Guardiola’s midfield rotation.

The transfer, completed in the summer transfer window, follows a period of speculation about the young talent’s future. City’s management cited Ndiaye’s technical ability and work rate as key factors in the decision, while Everton welcomed the financial boost that will help fund future squad reinforcements. The player is expected to undergo a medical and complete the necessary paperwork before joining the squad for pre‑season training.

With the deal in place, City’s midfield depth is set to increase ahead of the new season, while Everton will look to replace the departing midfielder with a combination of academy prospects and external signings. The move underscores both clubs’ strategic approaches to building competitive squads within the Premier League’s demanding environment.
