Manchester City are preparing for one of the most significant summers in the club’s recent history.
After a decade of unprecedented success, Pep Guardiola has departed the Etihad Stadium, with former assistant Enzo Maresca now set to begin a new era in Manchester.
The squad is also undergoing major changes, with long-serving figures Bernardo Silva and John Stones moving on, while Savinho appears increasingly likely to join Tottenham Hotspur.
As a result, City are expected to be active in the transfer market as they reshape their squad for life under Maresca.
And it seems one Premier League standout has emerged as a potential target.
City Weighing Up Ndiaye Move
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City are assessing a move for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye as they explore options to strengthen their attacking ranks this summer.
The report states that City are expected to re-enter the market for a wide player should Savinho complete his anticipated move to Tottenham, with Ndiaye among the names being seriously considered.
The Senegal international enjoyed an impressive campaign for Everton, scoring six Premier League goals and providing three assists despite operating in a side that often struggled for creativity.
Ndiaye’s close control, dribbling ability and knack for making things happen in tight spaces made him one of Everton’s most dangerous players throughout the season. Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara was particularly impressed, describing him as “one of the best players in the Premier League”.
City had previously explored moves for other attacking options, including Real Madrid star Rodrygo, but Ndiaye’s Premier League experience and versatility make him an attractive alternative.
For Maresca, replacing Savinho would be a priority if the Brazilian departs, and Ndiaye’s profile appears to fit the mould of the dynamic, technically gifted attackers that have thrived at the Etihad in recent years.
Whether City formalise their interest remains to be seen, but Ndiaye is certainly a player to watch as the summer window gathers pace.
