Manchester City seal up to £65m deal for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye

Manchester City confirmed a transfer for Everton's Iliman Ndiaye valued at up to £65m, consisting of a fixed £60m fee and potential £5m in performance-related add-ons. The agreement follows the collapse of a Tottenham-Everton swap that would have sent Richarlison to Everton while acquiring Ndiaye, after the Brazil forward failed to agree on personal terms despite a reported £35m Everton offer. Consequently, Tottenham are negotiating a season-long loan for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk. City’s signing comes as Liverpool's £80m bid for Cody Gakpo appears to have faltered, prompting the Reds to complete a £123m deal for Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain and continue scouting attackers like Brighton's Yankuba Minteh and Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr.
