The only thing that really matters at Everton these days is to avoid one of the three bottom places in the Premier League and beat the dreaded relegation. But it doesn’t mean the Toffees aren’t working to improve their next season’s squad.The blues from Liverpool have already tried to secure the signature of Sheffield United’s Senegalese international Iliman Ndiaye. Still, the Blades decided they needed the striker more than they needed $30 million in their promotion push. SUFC are confident of tying Iliman Ndiaye down to a new contract if they are promoted to the PL. However, if promotion is not secured they could be forced to accept a bid as low as £10m-15m in the summer with his deal expiring in 2024.[@SportsPeteO]#twitterblades #sufc pic.twitter.com/tJ2Bt2ctmj— The Bladesman (@The_Bladesman) March 13, 2023 However, the Senegal international’s situation could be much different come this summer as United’s battle to return to the Premier League faces being potentially stopped by Middlesbrough. And with the 23-year-old’s contract set to expire in just over a year, the red and whites from Sheffield will look to sell their prized asset while they can still get a good price for him. Because if they wait too long, and Ndiaye decides against extending his stay in Yorkshire – he’ll leave as a free agent.##NAJAVA_MECA_94934##Sean Dyche’s Toffees have been keeping tabs on Ndiaye in recent weeks, with their divisional rivals West Ham United and Newcastle United also watching on with interest. According to estimations in England, it would cost around $20 million to sign the Senegal international at the end of the season.Everton must do everything they possibly can to avoid dropping down to the Championship because getting Ndiaye will suddenly prove like too big of a challenge. The boy will surely seek a Premier League move. For Dyche and his team – there are 11 more games to secure survival.
