On 27 January 2020 French Ligue 1 club OGC Nice confirmed that Ndoye had signed with the club, but would remain at Lausanne on loan for the rest of the 2019–20 season.[5]

On 31 August 2021, Ndoye completed a move to Basel on a one-year-loan and joined Basel's first team during their 2021–22 season under head coach Patrick Rahmen.[6] Ndoye played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game in the Cornaredo on 12 September as Basel played a 1–1 draw with Lugano.[7] He scored his first goal for the team in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 30 September. This was the game in the group stage of the 2021–22 Europa Conference League as Basel won 4–2 against Kairat Almaty.[8] Ndoye scored his first league goal for his new club on 30 October in the away game in the Letzigrund as Basel played a 3–3 draw against Zürich.[9]

On 4 February 2022, Basel exercised the purchase option in their loan contract and signed Ndoye on a permanent basis with a four-and-a-half-year contract until the summer of 2026.[10]
