Everton reject bids for Iliman Ndiaye | OneFootball

The usually reliable social media source for transfer window activity, Fabrizio Romano, says that Everton have rejected enquiries for the services of Iliman Ndiaye from clubs in both the Premier League and Serie A.

Given the struggle Everton have experienced finding new players to strengthen a threadbare squad this summer, the possibility of one of the better players in the squad being tempted to depart for an opportunity at a different club is difficult to contemplate.

Hopefully this is just part and parcel of the normal transfer business where talented players are under constant 'monitoring' by the recruitment teams at other clubs. As long as Ndiaye is happy to continue working under David Moyes with his current contract running through 2029, Everton should be in a strong position t repel such advances.

£110m and it’s arrivederci. I don’t want him to go btw, but if clubs are demanding stupid money from us then we should do the same

Buy, buy, buy, not bye, bye, bye.

Had a feeling this might happen when we got Grealish.

I wouldn't sell him. But if we did and Dibling is worth £50 million. Then anything over £100 million will do

So what we received bids for him? We've been widely reported to have had multiple bids turned down for players we wanted - this happens all the time.

This is not news, it's more tawdry TW clickbait.

Might explain why he's been a bit underwhelming of late.

Good news if true. Good news that we're rejecting them also.

Unfortunately one of the downsides of a good transfer policy is that there'll be some regrettable departures... it's a much better model than trying to shift players we paid big money for when they're over the hill on big wages.

I still find it incredible that we got him at that age and transfer fee. His agent must not watch much football.

The Eze gazumping will have pushed Levy into bidding £12.95 for Iliman (payment to be split over 10 seasons).

He's our best attacking player, so I'm not surprised that other clubs want him, but we can't sell him at any cost right now.
