He is one of those players who, in the space of a few years, quickly secured his back. Behind his innocent appearance, there is still a great financial success. Iliman Ndiaye negotiated his contracts well. The new resident of Everton has a full bank account. Explanations.
A new era is about to begin for Iliman Ndiaye. The young Senegalese midfielder, capable of playing on the wings of the attack but also as a second striker, is a talented player. His touch on the ball is of a finesse that recalls the glory days of Brazil. However, success has not always followed him. This is probably why Marseille decided to part ways with him after a mixed season.
The Senegalese will notably return “home”, to England. There, he had already shone in the colours of Sheffield United. He will return to England, but to another big name, Everton, where he also passed his medical. Once this stage is passed for the young Senegalese, he will sign a five-year contract with the Toffees, where his compatriot Idrissa Gana Guèye also plays. For Olympique de Marseille, the departure of Iliman Ndiaye will bring in 18.5 million euros to the club. There could also be bonuses of up to 1.5 million euros.
In reality, beyond the mixed sporting performances of the young Senegalese, it was his family which weighed in this decision. Indeed, those close to him prefer life in England, which influenced the Lion’s choice to return to where he flourished at the highest level, notably in the Championship. Currently aged 23, the Senegalese nugget is making waves not only on the field, but also off it, particularly with regard to his wealth which increases season after season. Originally from Dakar, Iliman Ndiaye will sign a very lucrative contract with the Toffees. And as we know, in England, we pay well! Currently, Ndiaye receives a gross salary of 38,462 euros per week. Over a year, this represents a substantial sum of 2,000,000 euros.
Before joining Everton, he had already accumulated a considerable amount of wealth from his contracts in England. During his time at Sheffield United, he earned around €710,212 per year, over a period of three seasons. This makes a total of €2,130,636 earned with Sheffield United. This has strengthened his position as one of the highest-paid players in the Senegal national team, where Sadio Mané and Kalidou Koulibaly, expatriates in Saudi Arabia, are at the top.
His time at Olympique de Marseille, during the 2023/2024 season, was also financially beneficial, with the impressive sum of 2,000,000 euros for this year alone. So, adding these earnings, Ndiaye’s total fortune amounts to around 5 million euros, including bonuses and benefits. Very discreet about his life off the field, it is however difficult to know his investments.
