# Everton‑Ndiaye transfer to Al Hilal > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/evertonndiaye-transfer-to-al-hilal > Updated: 2026-08-02T15:00:36.000Z. Sources: 13. Developments: 2. In late July, Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye was the subject of intense transfer speculation. Reports indicated he had reached a personal agreement on contract terms with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, with a possible fee of €70‑75 million, while Everton publicly maintained that the player was “not for sale.” The club’s limited defensive options and recent ownership changes added urgency to its overall transfer activity. By early August, Al Hilal had moved to meet Everton’s £75 million valuation, offering a salary higher than what Ndiaye could earn in Europe and willing to pay the fee upfront. This offer effectively outbid Manchester United, whose interest waned after Ndiaye’s father said his son would not consider a move to the Middle East. With Al Hilal’s bid on the table, Everton was expected to hold firm on price, and the transfer could be completed within days if an agreement was reached. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-02: Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye's £75m transfer saga sees Al Hilal outbid Manchester United Al Hilal is ready to meet Everton’s £75 million price for winger Iliman Ndiaye, offering higher wages and an upfront fee, while Manchester United steps back amid the high cost and the player’s reluctance to go 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/everton-winger-iliman-ndiayes-75m-transfer-saga-sees-al-hilal-outbid-manchester-united ### 2026-07-29: Everton eyeing Al Hilal move for Iliman Ndiaye as Nathan Zeze emerges as transfer target Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye is near a €70‑75 m move to Al Hilal, while 21‑year‑old French defender Nathan Zeze is targeted by Everton amid Neom’s financial woes.
