Manchester City have reached agreement with Everton to sign Iliman Ndiaye in a deal reportedly worth around £65m, with the BBC describing a minimum fee of at least £60m.
The reports say Ndiaye, 26, is available for transfer after declining multiple new contract offers while he still has time left on his existing Everton deal. The Athletic adds that he has three years remaining on his current terms and that he refused fresh proposals last season. Together, the sources indicate the transfer is progressing beyond talks into an agreed framework, with City now moving toward finalising the move.
While the outlets align on the reported fee level and the broad status of the agreement, they differ in emphasis: BBC focuses on the financial terms and the headline figure, while The Athletic highlights Ndiaye’s contract situation and his decision not to extend at Everton. Both accounts present the transfer as a negotiated outcome following a period of stalled contract discussions.
