Man City agree £65m deal for Everton's Ndiaye
Manchester City has secured a £65m deal for Everton's Iliman Ndiaye after a proposed swap deal involving Tottenham's Richarlison collapsed. Meanwhile, Liverpool's pursuit of a replacement for Cody Gakpo has stalled, likely keeping the forward at Anfield.
Why it matters
This highlights the high-stakes, volatile nature of the Premier League transfer window and the complex domino effects of failed player negotiations.
Manchester City have agreed a deal worth up to £65m to sign Iliman Ndiaye from Everton.
The clubs reached an agreement on a deal worth a guaranteed £60m plus a further £5m in add-ons for the Senegal winger.
The news comes after Tottenham agreed deals with Everton on Friday night for Ndiaye to join the London club, with Richarlison moving the other way in a separate transfer.
However, sources are indicating Richarlison failed to agree personal terms with former club Everton, who are understood to have made a £35m offer for the Brazil forward.
As a result, Tottenham have been unable to proceed with the Ndiaye transfer.
In an emotional statement on Instagram on Monday, Richarlison said: "After everything I've been through in the last few years, I've decided that never again will anyone decide my future for me.
