Iliman Ndiaye
April 2026
Gareth Barry has warned Everton they must do everything possible to keep Iliman Ndiaye happy as transfer interest grows around one of their most creative players. Ndiaye’s rise at Goodison has made him a valuable asset and a possible target for bigger clubs. Barry said players like Ndiaye are hard for Everton to attract and even harder to replace. With Ndiaye under contract until 2029, Everton are in a strong position, but the message is clear: they need to build around him rather than entertain a sale.
