Iliman Ndiaye has been refusing to agree new Everton deal | OneFootball

Everton attacker Iliman Ndiaye has been rejecting multiple new deals from the Toffees, according to The Athletic.

The Everton star is a key player under manager David Moyes at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and the Blues want to reward him with an improved contract.

Ndiaye has three years remaining on his current Toffees contract, and there is no exit clause.

Everton have been looking to get the 26-year-old to sign a new deal but their efforts have yielded no results.

Ndiaye wants an exit clause that could be triggered as early as this summer included in the new deal before reaching an agreement.

However, the Toffees want to protect the value of one of their best players and ensure they dictate the timing or price of any potential future exit.

It remains to be seen if either party will be willing to shift ground, but Ndiaye is not pushing to leave Everton right now.

The club are expecting suitors to come calling in the coming weeks, especially if the versatile forward impresses at the World Cup with his country later this month.

The Blues are not keen on losing their attacker anytime soon and could demand €80 million from suitors to detract them.

He has been an influential player for the Merseyside club since joining them from Marseille in July 2024.

Ndiaye has 17 goals and three assists in 71 appearances for Everton.

His well-proven ability to beat his marker in one-on-one situations, due to his exquisite dribbling skills, is one of his major strengths.

Moyes led the Blues to a 13th-place finish in the Premier League this season, missing out on qualification for Europe by four points.

Everton will look to finish in the top-seven next term, and they will need to hold on to Ndiaye and other top players to boost their chances.
