According to reports, Liverpool<\/a> have \u2018held talks\u2019 over signing Everton star Iliman Ndiaye, who is also linked with Arsenal and Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Ndiaye<\/strong> <\/a>has shone for Everton over the past two seasons, having contributed 20 goal involvements in his 73 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n

The talented forward has done enough to attract interest from elsewhere, and he initially looked likely to move to the Saudi Pro League this summer.<\/p>\n

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on Tuesday that he has opted against a move to the Saudi Pro League to remain in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Romano said on X: \u2018Understand Iliman Ndiaye has decided not to proceed with Al Hilal deal: he wants to stay in Premier League.<\/p>\n

\u2018No to Saudi Arabia move despite big money on the table; Everton winger wants to continue in Premier League, decision made.\u2019<\/p>\n

This has opened the door for Ndiaye to move to a Big Six club, and Liverpool<\/strong> <\/a>are reportedly among the clubs interested in signing him.<\/p>\n

The Reds are still crying out for at least one more winger in this summer\u2019s transfer window, and they are also known to be targeting PSG star Bradley Barcola.<\/p>\n

Barcola has been mooted as a leading target for Liverpool following their failure to land Yan Diomande, though it may be difficult for them to settle on a fee with PSG.<\/p>\n

Despite the winger informing PSG of his desire to leave and not to sign a new contract beyond 2028, his current club reportedly want \u00a3145m for him, while Liverpool only wants to pay around \u00a3100m.<\/p>\n

This could lead Liverpool to turn to an alternative, and Caught Offside are reporting<\/a> that the Reds have \u2018held talks\u2019 over signing Ndiaye, while Manchester United and Arsenal have done the same.<\/p>\n

Iliman Ndiaye issues revealed with impact on Bradley Barcola deal<\/p>\n

Liverpool are said to have \u2018genuine interest\u2019 in signing Ndiaye, with it noted that this could be because it \u2018might suggest some concern about getting a deal done for Barcola, or it could be that their interest is slightly more geared towards putting pressure on PSG to lower their asking price for a player they know wants to leave\u2019.<\/p>\n

It is also noted that Everton want around \u00a375m from Arsenal and Man Utd for Ndiaye, but it is claimed that they would demand even more from Liverpool.<\/p>\n

A source for the outlet explained: \u201cLiverpool, Man United, and Arsenal have all held talks with Ndiaye\u2019s camp. Everton want \u00a375m, which is too high, but it\u2019ll be one to watch because the player is really keen to get a move.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s decided against the Saudi option as he wants to keep playing at the highest level. I highly doubt Everton would sell to Liverpool, and there have been no club-to-club talks yet, but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the asking price ended up being far higher for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
