Manchester City’s goalkeeper Ederson had attracted interest from Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window, with clubs like Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad making proposals to sign him. However, Manchester City rejected the offers as they were not willing to lower their €50 million price tag for the player. Despite efforts from the Saudi clubs to negotiate a better deal, Manchester City stood firm on their valuation of Ederson.
Recent reports suggest that Ederson is now likely to stay at Manchester City, with talks with Al-Ittihad coming to an end due to the inability to meet the requested price. This news is seen as a major boost for Manchester City, as they can now rely on Ederson for the upcoming season without the need for further transfer market activity. Ederson is currently on a pre-season tour in the United States with Manchester City, playing in a friendly match against Celtic.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his desire for Ederson to stay with the club, but acknowledged that the situation ultimately depends on the decisions of other clubs. With the latest developments indicating that Ederson will remain at Manchester City, it provides stability to the team as they prepare for the 2024/25 campaign and reduces the need for any last-minute transfers before the summer window closes.
