Iliman Ndiaye future in doubt as Manchester City renew contact

Manchester City have reopened discussions with Iliman Ndiaye’s representatives as the Senegal international’s proposed move to Tottenham remains unresolved, leaving the door open for a late change in the transfer battle.

According to Fabrizio Romano, City have once again spoken to Ndiaye’s camp to assess the conditions of a possible deal for the forward. The renewed contact suggests the Premier League champions are monitoring the situation closely, with Tottenham continuing to pursue the player.

Ndiaye’s versatility and ability to operate in several attacking positions are understood to have made him an attractive option for Manchester City. The club’s latest approach could indicate that its interest is becoming more serious with the transfer window approaching its deadline.

Tottenham had appeared to be in a strong position to sign the player, but the proposed move has not yet been completed. The London club is also having to deal with uncertainty over a possible return for Richarlison to Everton, a scenario that could affect its plans in attack.

That uncertainty could give City an opportunity to enter the negotiations. Until an agreement with Tottenham is formally concluded, Manchester City can still hope to influence the situation and change the direction of the transfer.

With the market close approaching, Ndiaye is therefore emerging as one of the players who could become involved in a late sequence of moves. His future may depend not only on the interest from Manchester City and Tottenham’s intentions, but also on developments elsewhere in the two clubs’ attacking plans.

The 25-year-old Senegal international’s potential move has consequently become one of the unresolved stories of the final days of the window. While Tottenham remain involved, Manchester City’s renewed contact means the outcome is not yet settled.

According to Transfermarkt, Ndiaye’s current market value is estimated at €55m. His annual salary in England is listed as €2,795,582, equivalent to 1,817,128,300 CFA francs.

The transfer uncertainty comes as Manchester United prepare to play Everton in their third match of the English league season. Betting company 1xbet lists Manchester United as favourites for that fixture, with odds of 2.20 for a home win. A draw is priced at 3.30, while Everton are offered at 2.80.

For now, however, the focus remains on whether Tottenham can complete their deal for Ndiaye before the deadline, or whether Manchester City’s latest intervention will create a fresh twist in the forward’s future.
