After an average first part of the season with OM, Iliman Ndiaye is the subject of several rumors about the winter transfer window.
Arrived at theOlympic Marseille during the 2023 summer transfer window for 17 million euros, Iliman Ndiaye struggles to convince under the Marseille tunic, which he has worn as an OM supporter since he was little. If his qualities on the ball are obvious, the Senegalese international has only been decisive three times (in 23 matches) and has not been very irregular since the start of the season.
A return to Sheffield?
And while he will temporarily leave Marseille to play the CAN with Senegal, rumors of a possible departure are intensifying, particularly in England. In an interview given to Blades Ramblea YouTube fan channel Sheffield UnitedPrince and club owner Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz al Saud has clearly not closed the door to a return of his former attacking midfielder. “You know, I can’t talk about players who play elsewhere. But believe me, we think of all the scenarios. We discuss everything. I can’t tell you if he’s going to come back or not. But I can tell you: ‘use your imagination'”he indicated.
At the Blades, Ndiaye left a very fond memory for the club’s supporters after two seasons, particularly the second during which he greatly contributed to Sheffield’s rise to the Premier League. Dead last in the Premier League with 9 points, the Blades would surely welcome the return of the 23-year-old player.
