Juventus interested in Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye | OneFootball

Iliman Ndiaye has emerged as a key target for Juventus, but the Serie A giants face a stern refusal from Everton, who have no intention of cashing in on the Senegalese winger in the near future.

According to TuttoJuve, the 25-year-old Senegalese international—who only returned to the Premier League with Everton last year following a spell at Olympique de Marseille—is attracting significant attention from major European clubs due to his excellent start to the season.

Spalletti Seeks Speed, Everton Says ‘No’

New Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti is eager to reinforce his attacking department with a player who can inject speed, technique, and creativity on the wings—characteristics that Ndiaye possesses and the Bianconeri desperately need.

However, the pursuit is complicated by the English club’s resolute stance: The Toffees have firmly stated they have “no intention of letting him go.” Manager David Moyes is quoted as emphasizing that the team is being built around players like Iliman. 

Furthermore, Ndiaye is tied to Everton until June 2029, which gives the Premier League side a distinct advantage and control over any potential negotiations.

While Juventus is keen on the player, the report suggests that any potential move for Ndiaye—if it happens at all—would not be in the immediate future, given Everton’s strong contractual position and their desire to retain a key figure in their project.
