Everton and Marseille Battle for Sheffield United Star Iliman Ndiaye
Sheffield United’s Iliman Ndiaye is a hot commodity in the transfer market, with Everton and Marseille reportedly interested in the Senegalese star. Everton boss Sean Dyche tried to sign Ndiaye in the January transfer window but was unsuccessful. However, with the player’s contract running down, Everton plans to make another move for him at a lower price.
Dyche is keen to add new forwards to his squad and sees Ndiaye as an ideal addition after his breakthrough season with the Blades. The Toffees are willing to offer up to £20 million for the 23-year-old, but Marseille’s growing interest could make it difficult for them to secure the deal.
Ndiaye has a year left on his contract, and Sheffield United is happy to keep him. The club hopes he can help them avoid relegation and may even agree to extend his contract. However, Ndiaye has a long-term goal of playing in French football, with Marseille being his dream destination.
The French club was planning to make a move for Ndiaye next summer when he would be a free agent. However, they may decide to make a low offer in this transfer window or the next. Ndiaye spent four seasons at Marseille as a kid and would love to return there as a starter.
Sheffield United Offers Jack Robinson a Minor Rise
In other news, Sheffield United is offering Jack Robinson a minor rise to stay with them for the Premier League campaign. The defender is out of contract and can leave for nothing, but the Blades have made a half-hearted attempt to keep him.
Sheffield United on a Tight Budget
Sheffield United is on a tight budget and needs to sell some of its players to raise cash. Jordan Pickford, Demarai Gray, Neal Maupay, Mason Holgate, and possibly Amadou Onana are among the players Dyche hopes to trade. The money raised from these sales will be used to bring in new players, with Ndiaye being a priority.
