Manchester City's Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson looks set to leave the Etihad. English media have reported over the last few days that the Brazilian is close to a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Al Nassr are one of the teams interested in the services of Ederson, who is thought to be open to such a move. Apart from Al Nassr, other Arab clubs are also interested in the goalkeeper.
Meanwhile, as far as Manchester City is concerned, the club leaders are not in a hurry to sell Ederson. The Brazilian has 2 years left in his active contract with the "citizens", and the leaders of City are expected to demand a minimum of 30 million pounds for his card. Ederson has been part of the English club since 2017, when he was transferred from Benfica for the figure of 35 million pounds. The goalkeeper has won a total of 17 major trophies with Manchester City and is now ready for a new adventure.
In case Ederson leaves, for the moment it will be the second goalkeeper of the team, Stefan Ortega, who will defend the goal of City next season. The German goalkeeper proved himself several times last season, and coach Pep Guardiola is confident in his abilities. The board of Manchester City is not expected to rush in this summer market, to bring new reinforcements, as Ortega offers security for the "citizens".
If Ederson decides to leave for Saudi Arabia, it would not be the first time for a Manchester City player. Aymeric Laporte left the Emirates last summer to join Al Nassr. At the same time, Riyad Mahrez left City to join Al Ahli. Apart from Ederson, other players in Pep Guardiola's camp have also been mentioned for a possible move to Saudi Arabia. Among them and Kevin de Bruyne.
