Manchester City have confirmed that they have agreed a transfer deal for Iliman Ndiaye, the 24‑year‑old defender from Everton. The English Premier League club will pay a fee of at least £60 million for the player.
The agreement was announced on Tuesday, with City’s management expressing satisfaction with the terms reached. Ndiaye will join City’s squad ahead of the start of the new season.
Everton have sold the midfielder to City as part of their ongoing restructuring. The move allows the club to reduce its wage bill and free up space for new signings.
For Manchester City, acquiring Ndiaye adds depth to a squad that has been building around a core group of players. The club’s front office highlighted the importance of strengthening its defensive options.
The player will need to complete his registration with the Premier League before making his debut. Both clubs have indicated that the transfer will be finalised in the coming days, setting the stage for Ndiaye’s first match for City later this season.
