Manchester City agree a £60 million deal to sign Iliman Ndiaye, according to reports from multiple outlets. The transfer is linked to City exploring attacking options after an earlier move did not progress.
Both accounts say City shift their focus to Ndiaye after Liverpool do not sanction Cody Gakpo’s sale. The Independent adds that Everton’s pursuit of Jack Grealish is also progressing in parallel, placing City’s Ndiaye decision within a wider, ongoing market of negotiations involving multiple clubs. Free Malaysia Today similarly frames the Ndiaye agreement as City turning to the Senegal winger following the blocked Gakpo approach. While neither source provides further detail on timing, personal terms, or whether final paperwork has been completed, they agree on the core sequence: City’s £60m deal for Ndiaye follows Liverpool’s refusal to allow Gakpo to leave.
Overall, the reporting aligns on the transfer value and the trigger for City’s change in target, with additional context in The Independent referencing concurrent interest elsewhere in the Premier League.
