Sheffield United even drafted a press release which included quotes from boss Paul Heckingbottom and Chief Executive Stephen Bettis.

Ndiaye, who has 12-months remaining on his contract, was spoken to by owner Prince Abdullah over his future most recently.

The player was set to be offered an improved contract, including improved salary, which had been discussed during the Blades' Portugal pre-season training camp.

Ndiaye's quick u-turn has certainly sent shock ways around the club, who will now need to plan for life without him.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw
