There have been reports of interest from Saudi Arabia in Manchester City’s goalkeeper Ederson, with several clubs considering making significant offers for the player. Ederson sustained some injuries during the most recent season, allowing back-up choice Stefan Ortega to impress. However, Ederson remains a Manchester City player as the pre-season training camp approaches.

Sources in Saudi Arabia were expecting Ederson to move to the Middle East after the end of last season, but Manchester City does not appear to be alarmed about the situation. The club still views Ederson as the best solution in goal, according to manager Pep Guardiola. Manchester City may seek a replacement for Ederson in the summer transfer window if he decides to move to Saudi Arabia.

Despite Ortega’s impressive performances last season, Manchester City officials offered a one-year contract extension to the goalkeeper. It remains unclear whether Manchester City will be looking for a direct replacement for Ederson or promote Ortega as the new back-up. The situation with Ederson and potential moves to Saudi Arabia are still ongoing.
