A year after joining Olympique de Marseille, Iliman Ndiaye left the Marseille club. The player had his medical examination at Everton yesterday.
It was by plane, and not by train, that Iliman Ndiaye joined Liverpool yesterday, where the 24-year-old player will quickly sign his new contract with Everton. Moreover, Fabrizio Romano confirms that Ndiaye had his medical examination this Wednesday. Just after, the former Sheffield United player will sign for five years with the Premier League club.
For Olympique de Marseille, this departure of the Senegalese international will result in a return of 18.5 million euros plus bonuses of 1.5 million euros, i.e. more than what Pablo Longoria had paid last year to bring in Ndiaye.
Note that, according to certain sources, the Ndiaye family preferred to live in England, and this pushed the player to accept this return to the other side of the Channel after a very mixed season at Om.
Roberto De Zerbi drops off
Thus, Olympique de Marseille is almost guaranteed not to lose a single penny on the account of Iliman Ndiaye, whom he snatched from Sheffield United last summer, for a check of between 17 and 20 million euros. A lesser evil, while the Longoria-Benatia tandem is now working to rebuild an entire squad. Starting with defense, where Brestois Lilian Brassier will become the first recruit of this 2024 summer transfer window.
New coach of Om, Roberto De Zerbi arrived this Wednesday, at midday, in Provence, to sign his contract with Olympique de Marseille.
Around ten supporters were waiting for him in front of Marignane airport, where the Italian technician landed with his staff aboard a private plane. He should then sign his three-year contract.
