Manchester City have secured an agreement to sign Iliman Ndiaye from Everton, a move that will see the Senegal international bolster City's attacking options. The financial terms of the deal involve a base fee of £60 million, which could rise to £65 million depending on performance-based add-ons.

The transfer represents a significant late-window move for both clubs. While the core financial details are consistent across reports, the context surrounding the deal varies. The Guardian reports that Manchester City successfully "gazumped" Tottenham Hotspur, who were previously considered the frontrunners to sign the player. According to The Guardian, this move by City followed their unsuccessful attempt to sign Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo. Furthermore, the outlet notes that City are also exploring a potential deal for Chelsea's Enzo Fernández.

Everton now face a difficult challenge in the final hours of the transfer window. With the deadline approaching on Tuesday night, the club has very little time to secure a replacement for Ndiaye, who has been a key contributor to their squad. Ndiaye is expected to undergo a medical examination shortly to finalize the transfer.
