Man City agree £65m deal for Everton’s Ndiaye

Manchester City and Everton have reached an agreement for the Senegalese winger, Iliman Ndiaye, with the deal reportedly worth up to £65 million. The agreement includes a base fee of £60 million, with an additional £5 million in add-ons. The transfer news comes after Tottenham Hotspur had also expressed interest in signing Ndiaye, but failed to secure the deal due to personal terms not being agreed upon with Everton.

Everton had reportedly made an offer of £35 million for Richarlison, a Brazil forward, but Tottenham could not complete the transfer. Richarlison issued an emotional statement on Instagram, vowing never to let his future be decided by others again and expressing his desire to return to Everton. However, Tottenham remains in talks to sign Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk on a season-long loan.

Meanwhile, Manchester City's pursuit of Liverpool's Cody Gakpo appeared to falter, with Liverpool securing a £123 million deal for France forward Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain. Liverpool is now expected to retain Gakpo, 27, unless they manage to finalize a new winger transfer before the transfer deadline on Tuesday.
