In a significant boost for David Moyes’ second stint at Goodison Park, Everton’s star forward Iliman Ndiaye has reportedly rejected a high-profile move to Serie A giants Inter Milan. The Senegal international, who has become the linchpin of the Toffees’ attack since his arrival, was the subject of a substantial inquiry from the Champions League mainstays just days into the January 2026 window.
​Sources close to the club suggest that Inter were prepared to table a bid in excess of £40 million for the 25-year-old. However, Ndiaye has made his intentions clear: he is ready to stay on Merseyside and fight for his place as the club navigates a transitional period under new ownership. Having already netted several crucial goals this season, Ndiaye is viewed as “untouchable” by the Everton hierarchy.
​The player’s commitment comes at a vital time, as Everton currently balances a thin squad following injuries to key personnel like Jarrad Branthwaite. By snubbing the allure of European knockout football, Ndiaye has cemented his status as a fan favorite at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. For Moyes, keeping his most creative spark is a massive statement of intent as the club looks to climb toward the European spots
