Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye’s father, Mouhamadou Abdoulaye Ndiaye, has firmly denied claims that his son has agreed to join Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, despite intense interest and lucrative wage offers from the Middle East, the 26-year-old remains fully focused on his European career and international ambitions.
Mouhamadou added that the Senegal international already told him that he does not intend to join any Saudi Arabian club anytime soon.
His words, “Many people called me to tell me that Iliman was going to leave. But rest assured, he is not going anywhere.
He called me this morning. I even teased him with a few words in Arabic, and we laughed about it. He let me know that he had no intention of going to Saudi Arabia.
He still has plans. He knows he has to keep working harder. Senegal needs him, just as he needs Senegal.
Everything he does today, he does for his country. He knows he can earn a lot of money there, but he also thinks his level could drop.
He’s not the type to prioritise money over his career. His goal is to win another Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, win the World Cup, and one day become a Ballon d’Or winner. That’s what motivates him today.”
