The beautiful story between Iliman Ndiaye and OM is going to take place. The 23-year-old striker has never hidden his love for Olympique de Marseille, his favorite club since childhood. So when the Olympian club wanted to repatriate him this summer, the player quickly validated the project. But above all, it was necessary to convince Sheffield United to let go of their best player as the English club returned to the Premier League. As we revealed to you, Ndiaye had agreed with OM on a 5-year contract.
After several weeks of negotiations, OM did not seem to be able to satisfy Sheffield in this matter and we even thought that this track was definitely dead. The player, for his part, continued to perform during his team’s summer preparation. Enough to make the Marseille supporters salivate who were waiting for a happy ending in this case. And that day has finally arrived. Because Iliman Ndiaye will sign well for OM.
5-year contract, 17 million transfer
Indeed, according to information from Fabrizio Romano and later confirmed by the French press, including RMC And The Team, OM and Sheffield have finally agreed on the transfer of Iliman Ndiaye. According to our information, OM will pay 17 million euros excluding bonuses to afford the Senegalese international who will therefore join his compatriot Ismaïla Sarr for a 5-year contract.
The player is expected in the evening in Marseille and he will have his medical examination this Monday with his new club. OM therefore offers itself a very big blow on the transfer market and continues its XXL transfer window. After Lodi, Aubameyang, Kondogbia and Sarr, Marseille will therefore welcome a new recruit to its workforce. To the delight of the supporters and the player who will finally realize his dream of wearing the Olympian colors…
