In a surprising turn of events, the transfer situation involving Sheffield United striker Iliman Ndiaye has taken a late twist, providing Everton with a renewed chance to secure his signature following the potential collapse of his move to Marseille.

Throughout the month of July, negotiations between Sheffield United and the French Ligue 1 club had been underway as they vied for the services of the talented 23-year-old forward. However, reports from renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano suggest that Everton has held a keen interest in acquiring Ndiaye since April, indicating their long-standing desire to secure his services.

During the previous winter transfer window, Everton had already pursued the Senegalese international, with reports from L’Equipe disclosing a substantial €23 million (£20 million) bid submitted by the Toffees.

Transfermarkt.com, a reputable source for player valuations, currently estimates Ndiaye’s market value to be around €18 million.

World Football Rumours

Although Ndiaye had rejected a move to Goodison Park at the time, it now appears highly likely that he will depart Bramall Lane in the current summer transfer window. Financial difficulties at Sheffield United, coupled with the fact that the striker has only one year remaining on his contract, make his departure increasingly probable.

Given Everton’s prolonged interest in Ndiaye, spanning almost a year, they now find themselves presented with another late opportunity to pursue the highly talented striker and potentially secure his services for the upcoming season. The final outcome of this transfer saga remains to be seen, but it is clear that Everton is eager to make a move for Ndiaye and add him to their ranks.
