Saudi club Al-Ittihad is reportedly interested in signing Manchester City’s key player, Ederson, with a valuation of at least £42m. Despite Al-Nassr’s previous attempt to acquire Ederson, they failed to reach an agreement with City over a transfer fee. However, Al-Ittihad has now made an approach for the Brazilian goalkeeper, indicating a strong interest in luring top European stars to the Saudi Pro League.
While Manchester City has had a quiet summer transfer window so far, the recent sale of young players and arrivals like winger Savinho have sparked excitement among fans. The potential departure of Ederson to Al-Ittihad raises questions about City’s goalkeeping situation and the possible impact on the team. Reports suggest that Ederson remains keen on a move to the Saudi Pro League, where he could earn a substantial amount of money.
Despite Al-Nassr backing out of the race to sign Ederson, the goalkeeper’s future at City is still uncertain. Manchester City is expected to insist on a valuation of €50-60m for Ederson, indicating that negotiations between the clubs may be challenging. The interest from Saudi clubs like Al-Ittihad in City’s players like Ederson and Kevin De Bruyne highlights the lure of the Saudi Pro League in attracting top talent from Europe.
