Liverpool Targets Ndiaye Amid Injury Concerns
Considering the possibility that their leading striker Mohamed Salah may leave the club next season, Liverpool FC is seriously exploring backup options. Zamin.uz reported on this matter.
It has become known that the Merseyside side intends to first sign Ilmame Ndiaye, a seasoned player from their city rivals Everton. The club's management believes that the playing style and physical capabilities of the 26-year-old Senegal national team representative perfectly match Liverpool's new tactics.
If the Egyptian star truly departs the club, Ndiaye is assessed as being fully ready to take over the most important position on the attacking wing. Although this transfer is highly desired, executing it will not be an easy task.
This is because Manchester United has also shown significant interest in Ilmame Ndiaye. The Red Devils plan to fill the spot of Joshua Zirkzee, who is expected to leave the club in the near future, by signing this player.
As a result, there is a high probability of an intense battle between two of the Premier League's strongest rivals for this single player. This situation could further drive up Ndiaye's price.
During the current season, Ilmame Ndiaye has made a total of 27 appearances for Everton, scoring six goals and providing three assists. His contract with the club is expected to remain valid until next summer, specifically until 2029.
This allows Everton to maintain a stronger position in transfer negotiations. According to Transfermarkt data, the player's current market value stands at 50 million euros.
Therefore, serious and substantial financial offers will need to be prepared to sign him. Source: TEAMtalk.
