Liverpool want 26-year-old “versatile forward” after Salah exit, as Man United join race

26 March 2026 at 23:46

Liverpool have been linked with a surprise move for the Everton attacker Iliman Ndiaye at the end of the season.

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have been closely tracking the Senegal International, and they are looking to make a move for him in the summer. Egyptian International Mohamed Salah has confirmed that he will leave the club at the end of the season, and Liverpool needs more quality and depth in the wide areas.

Liverpool eye Iliman Ndiaye

They believe that the Senegal attacker could be a very useful acquisition for them. He has impressed in the Premier League with Everton, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed at a higher level as well. The 26-year-old can operate on either flank, and he will add pace and unpredictability to the Liverpool attack.

He is entering the peak years of his career, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. The player has six goals and three assists to his name this season, and he could be a handy option for Liverpool. Meanwhile, Manchester United are very keen on the player as well and believe he could be the “versatile forward” they are looking for.

Everton is not prepared to sell Ndiaye

Meanwhile, Everton is in no mood to let him leave, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. If the player decides to force an exit, they could be under pressure to consider a sale in the summer. Liverpool and Manchester United will be attractive destinations for the player, and he will want to compete at the highest level. However, he has a contract with Everton until 2029, and the Toffees will not make it easy for him to move on.

Ndiaye has impressed in the Premier League this season, contributing six goals and three assists in 25 league games.

This has previously led to the Senegal international being linked with Man Utd by TEAMtalk, and now there’s a fresh update on him from Sky Sports.

They name Ndiaye as one of the attacking players on United’s radar, along with talented young RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande.

Other big names like Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, and Lewis Hall are mentioned in their report as MUFC could be set for a busy window if they get back into the Champions League.

Is Iliman Ndiaye good enough for Manchester United?

It’s easy to imagine Everton coming under pressure to sell Ndiaye before long, but is he actually good enough for United considering how much he’s likely to cost?

The Red Devils already have fine attacking options like Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Amad Diallo, so it’s not obvious Ndiaye would be a regular in their starting XI.

It’s also worth noting that Ndiaye’s numbers are not that spectacular and he’s already 26 years of age, so there’s perhaps limited scope for him to improve much further.

Taking all this into account, we gave him the Transfer Fit rating below (find out more about how we calculate these here)

Iliman Ndiaye TOTAL SCORE: 10/25
Transfer fee *

We rate this at just 10/25 – Ndiaye is enjoying a bit of a purple patch and has scored some fine goals, but the eye test alone can be deceiving.

Jamie O’Hara described Ndiaye as “top drawer” and one of the best players in the Premier League, but he doesn’t actually look quite as impressive as Mbeumo did at Brentford, for example.

Ndiaye is one the best players in the premier league, top drawer he is ?

Overall, Ndiaye doesn’t look like someone who’d really take United up a level, and unless he turns out to be a very late bloomer, it’s possible that we’re already seeing him pretty much at his peak level.
