Liverpool in talks for Everton's Iliman Ndiaye amid transfer window

Liverpool has expressed genuine interest in signing Iliman Ndiaye from Everton, with direct talks held with the player's camp. Everton values the winger at £75m, which Liverpool finds excessive. Ndiaye is reportedly keen on a move but has not pushed to leave. The Reds are also linked to Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain, who has agreed to personal terms but whose club is demanding a fee of £128m. Liverpool’s pursuit of Ndiaye may raise questions about their strategy in the transfer market, especially if they abandon the Barcola chase.
