Iliman Ndiaye on brink of Manchester City move after £60m agreement

Everton have given Iliman Ndiaye permission to undergo a medical with Manchester City, bringing the Senegalese forward within touching distance of a major move in his career.

The transfer has been agreed around a fixed fee of £60m, with a further £5m available in bonuses. The contractual agreement between Ndiaye and the Manchester club has also been finalised.

Ndiaye’s medical is the remaining formal step before the transfer can be completed. Everton have now authorised the player to travel to Manchester and begin that process, indicating that the two clubs have reached an agreement over the principal terms of the deal.

Although the move has not yet been officially announced, the negotiations have advanced rapidly in recent days. Contacts that had been conducted privately were reactivated, and those discussions have now resulted in a clear agreement between Everton and Manchester City.

The financial structure of the deal is understood to be settled, with Everton due to receive £60m as the guaranteed amount. Additional payments worth up to £5m will depend on bonuses included in the agreement.

Alongside the club-to-club arrangement, the terms agreed between Ndiaye and Manchester City are complete. That leaves the medical as the key outstanding stage before the transfer can be formally confirmed.

The 25-year-old will therefore take a significant step towards joining Manchester City, with the move expected to be officially announced by both clubs within hours. The final confirmation will follow once the medical process has been completed.

Everton have not blocked the move and have formally authorised Ndiaye to undergo the examination in Manchester. That decision follows the conclusion of the recent discussions and reflects the progress made towards finalising the transfer.

For Manchester City, the agreement places Ndiaye on the verge of becoming their latest addition. For Everton, the deal is set to bring a fixed £60m fee, potentially rising by another £5m through bonuses.

The announcement from both clubs is now regarded as imminent. The transfer will only require the medical and the formal communications from Everton and Manchester City before it is confirmed publicly.

Ndiaye’s move has consequently moved from discreet negotiations to the final administrative stage. With the financial terms agreed, the player’s contract settled and permission granted for his medical, the Senegalese forward is heading towards Manchester City.
