Manchester City has completed the signing of Iliman Ndiaye from Everton in a deal valued at approximately 76 million euros. The transfer, which was initially linked to Tottenham, has now been finalized after negotiations with Everton. Ndiaye, 26, will join the Premier League side, marking a significant move in the summer transfer window.
The deal comes after Manchester City had previously attempted to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool, but that transfer fell through when Liverpool could not find a replacement for Gakpo. Ndiaye, who has been linked with several clubs, has now chosen to join City, reportedly after discussions with both Manchester City and Tottenham.
The transfer is part of a broader summer recruitment drive for Manchester City, which has been active in targeting top talent. Ndiaye’s arrival adds depth to the team’s attacking options, and his signing reflects the club’s continued investment in strengthening its squad.
The move also highlights the competitive nature of the Premier League transfer market, with multiple clubs vying for key players. Ndiaye’s contract with Everton was set to expire in the summer, and his decision to join Manchester City underscores the financial and tactical ambitions of the club.
