Turkey career edit

He played at Göztepe (2020-21, 2021-22 seasons) and Adana Demirspor (2022-23 half term, 2023) teams in Turkey. After going to China, SH Port, on 28 January 2023, Ndiaye returned to Turkey on loan to Adana Demirspor with an option to buy.[5] He made a good performance by scoring 4 goals in 6 matches played by Adana Demirspor in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying round matches on 2023-24 season. The option to buy was exercised on 1 July 2023.

Red Star Belgrade edit

After Adana Demirspor failed to qualify for the UEFA Conference League, Ndiaye's excellent start to the season did not go unnoticed. In the last minutes of September 4, Ndiaye inks a three-year contract, with an option for another year, with the UEFA Champions League participant Red Star Belgrade, in a transfer worth 4 million euros,[6] along with Korean Hwang In-beom. In his new team, he made his UEFA Champions League debut against Manchester City match.[7] His first score in that League is against Young Boys on 4 October 2023.[8]
