Manchester City Secures Iliman Ndiaye for £60M on Hectic Transfer Deadline Day
City's late window activity continues with Ndiaye and Allan Elias, as clubs across Europe scramble to finalize deals before tonight's deadline.
The story
The summer transfer window is drawing to a close with a flurry of activity, most notably Manchester City's agreement to a £60 million deal for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye. The Senegal international is set to join City, with the fee potentially rising by another £5 million in add-ons [1].
This move comes as City also recently completed a £32 million transfer for Allan Elias from Palmeiras, marking a significant investment in their attacking options in the final days of the window [1]. Meanwhile, the transfer market remains chaotic, with several other high-profile players expected to be on the move before the 11 PM BST deadline.
Chelsea is reportedly lining up replacements for Enzo Fernandez, who is a target for Manchester City, while Tottenham has inquired about Mykhaylo Mudryk from Chelsea [1, 4, 5]. Everton is also close to securing Jack Grealish on a season-long loan from Manchester City [1].
Where it stands
The FIFA World Cup 2026 concluded on July 19, 2026, with Spain defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra time to claim their second title [7, 19, 20]. As the tournament has ended, there are no active group standings or knockout bracket developments to report for September 1, 2026. All final standings and qualification details were set upon the conclusion of the competition in July [16].
