2025/26 Iliman Ndiaye


According to Wiki:
On 3 July 2024, Premier League club Everton announced the signing of Ndiaye on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

On 30 August 2024, Olympique de Marseille confirmed Maupay had signed on a loan deal lasting until the end of the season with an obligation to buy for £6 million.

Imagine being the person at Marseille responsible for that.

They kicked out Rabiot and Rowe in the summer aswell for something that happened behind the scenes.

It's my favorite transfer combo ever.
 

How much was Wirtz? Surely that is the bench mark. It would cost more than £70m to replace him.
I don't think that's a good comparison because transfer fees are reflective of their perceived worth at the time, not how they then worked out over the first few months of their moves.

Wirtz was probably the single highest rated young attacking midfielder in the world who was actually for sale, was only 22, and could have his fee fluffed by some PSR maneuvering with Quansah going the other way. Ndiaye is none of those things

Fair points but thank good you’re not involved in the negotiations. How much would you sell him for?

😂 Yes you're right I wouldn't want Nick Hammond to be making these points in the negotiation process.

70m I think is what I'd expect? Eze for 60m + add-ons is the benchmark probably - will be similar age next summer to what Eze was this summer, attacking players ripping it up for a mid-table team being sold to a top team, plus a bit more because I think Ndiaye has the potential to be a bit more of a gamebreaker on an elite team.

I mean what I really want is him to stay forever. But with the realities of PSR we need to make a big sale occasionally while we build. So my second choice would be a world record fee to a club on the continent so I don't have to watch him play for another prem team...but failing that...I would understand 70m.
 


That is wild skill, crazy stuff, but even more impressive to me is the way he can beat players in premier league matches but also run his socks off defensively as well

Also, we should put a huge ‘not for sale’ sign on him, don’t care if it’s 100m we won’t replace him well

Last time we sold a star and improved the team overall was probably Rooney (finished fourth the season after) but even then long term we lost a generational talent we’d have all rather kept here
 
We do our fans always try to sell our best players?
£80 mill, £70mill etc. Kenwright is no longer here.
How about “not for sale at any price”!!!
Everton need to act like a big club again and build the team not break it.

Tell these inferior clubs to do one.

Fans dont "always try to sell our best players".

What posters are doing is discussing what 'might' happen if Ndiaye has suitors from champions league clubs and/or those willing to pay a big fee for him.

With PSR you have to sell players in order to reinvest in new players.

With Ndiaye he's the best player on the pitch, so teams will almost certainly be in for him and offering a big wage increase with european football.

We have the risk of him getting injured and/or being unable to build a new team due to PSR constraints.

Theres multiple factors ro consider.
