Al Hilal have opened early discussions over a potential move for Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye as the Saudi Pro League side continues its ambitious summer recruitment drive.
Softfootball understands that the Senegal international has emerged as the club’s next priority target following the recent completion of Crysencio Summerville’s high-profile transfer.
Initial negotiations remain at an early stage, with Ndiaye open to holding exploratory talks over a possible move. However, any transfer will ultimately depend on Everton’s willingness to negotiate the sale of one of their key attacking players.
Al Hilal view Ndiaye as a player capable of adding creativity and dynamism to their attack as they continue strengthening their squad with proven talent from Europe’s top leagues.
While talks are still in their early stages, Everton’s position will be decisive. Unless the Premier League club agrees to negotiate, Al Hilal’s interest is unlikely to progress beyond preliminary discussions despite the player’s openness to hearing the proposal.
