After a standout season with Everton, Iliman Ndiaye is catching the eye of Europe’s top clubs. The 25-year-old Senegalese forward is steadily becoming one of the most influential attacking players in the Premier League. After 20 league matches, he boasts an impressive tally of 5 goals and 2 assists, showcasing his growing importance to the Toffees.
His consistent performances, ability to play across the front line, and technical skill have quickly drawn attention beyond England. Several European giants are closely monitoring his situation. Atlético de Madrid had considered him before opting for Ademola Lookman to bolster their attack. But interest in the African champion hasn’t faded.
Now, Manchester United is reportedly keeping a close eye on the Senegal international. The Red Devils, in search of dynamism and creativity in the final third, see Ndiaye as a player who can bring impact, mobility, and efficiency. Rumors have intensified in recent days, especially after a notable statement from the player.
In an interview with FotMob, Iliman Ndiaye didn’t hide his admiration for Old Trafford. When asked about his favorite stadium among those he has played in, he replied without hesitation: “My favorite stadium, among all those I’ve played in, is Old Trafford. The atmosphere, the size… When we were young, it was the stadium we dreamed of playing in.” These comments naturally fueled speculation about a potential transfer to the Manchester club.
Born in Rouen, the forward trained in France is now climbing to the highest level. Under contract with Everton until 2029, he has a certain contractual stability that puts his club in a strong position for any negotiations. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is currently estimated at 45 million euros, a testament to the player’s steady progression in recent seasons.
In terms of salary, Iliman Ndiaye reportedly earns around 2,795,582 euros per year in England, which is nearly 1,817,128,300 FCFA. These figures confirm his new status and illustrate the importance he has gained within his club, while hinting at an even more ambitious future on the European stage.
