"Liverpool's rivalry with Everton is as fierce and deep-seated as they come in English football. The two clubs, who until this year were separated by the short distance across Stanley Park, are two of the Premier League's best-supported teams. Neither has been relegated from English football's top flight since the Premier League's 1992 inauguration while more recently both clubs have undergone stadium moves or redevelopment."
"Due to the two teams' local rivalry, though, few players have ever been transferred between the clubs. In 2000, Nick Barmby completed a highly-controversial move from Everton to Liverpool, becoming the first player to 'cross the park' in over 40 years.

"Liverpool have reportedly enquired about the availability of Senegalese forward Iliman Ndiaye, who joined the Toffees from Olympique Marseille back in 2024. This term, Ndiaye has been one of David Moyes' best players, playing primarily off the left-wing, starting each of the team's 13 league fixtures.

Liverpool and Everton maintain a fierce local rivalry rooted in close geography and deep fan support, with both clubs never relegated from the Premier League since 1992 and having undergone recent stadium changes. Transfers directly between the two clubs are uncommon; Nick Barmby moved from Everton to Liverpool in 2000 and Abel Xavier followed in 2002. Senegalese forward Iliman Ndiaye joined Everton from Olympique Marseille in 2024 and has been a key performer this season, starting every league fixture while operating from the left. Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool have reportedly enquired about Ndiaye as clubs seek a new striker.
