Al-Hilal Outbid Man United in Race for £75m Ndiaye | OneFootball

Manchester United’s pursuit of Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye has hit a serious complication, with Al-Hilal making a strong push for the 26-year-old Senegal international and Everton maintaining a valuation in the region of £75 million.

According to sources close to the agents industry who informed CaughtOffside, Everton will only consider selling Ndiaye if their asking price of approximately £75 million is met. Those same sources indicated that Al-Hilal is currently better placed than United to satisfy both the transfer fee and the player’s wage demands.

Why Ndiaye Is on United’s Radar

Left wing is a stated priority for United this summer. INEOS are understood to be intent on employing a system with natural wingers, and Manchester United value the Senegal international for his ability to carry the ball, beat defenders, and play in several attacking positions.

Ndiaye has been identified as a potential alternative to other winger targets, and his Premier League experience adds to his appeal. According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are not likely to move for Ndiaye unless Marcus Rashford leaves the club, which continues to complicate their planning in the wide areas.

The Fee Gap and the Competition

The Mirror reported that Everton have placed a £70 million price tag on Ndiaye and are unwilling to lower their valuation. The Athletic has reported that Everton would place a prohibitive valuation on the player, requiring approximately £69 million to consider a sale. Ndiaye has three years remaining on his current contract and no exit clause. The most recent sourcing puts the figure at £75 million – the range across outlets reflects different moments in the negotiation rather than a clear upward shift in Everton’s position.

Aston Villa have also shown interest, while Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham are monitoring the situation. That breadth of Premier League attention strengthens Everton’s hand, as does Al-Hilal’s financial firepower outside the domestic market entirely.

United have registered interest but are not believed to be willing to meet the current asking price.
