Al-Hilal open talks with Everton for Iliman Ndiaye

Saudi Arabian clubs continue to flex their financial muscle in Europe. Al-Hilal have set their sights on Everton attacking midfielder Iliman Ndiaye, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. Initial discussions have already taken place between the two clubs, with more detailed negotiations expected next week. Ndiaye, a Senegal international, is seen as a key target to bolster Al-Hilal's forward line. Ndiaye put together a strong campaign in the Premier League last season, recording 6 goals and 3 assists in 32 appearances in the 2025/26 term. His contract at Everton runs through the summer of 2029, which means any deal will likely command a significant fee. Al-Hilal previously secured Crysencio Summerville on a four-year contract, continuing their aggressive recruitment drive.
