One club has ruled themselves out of signing a key Manchester City player, with Al-Nassr closing in on a deal to sign Bento from Athletico Paranaense instead of Ederson. Manchester City has faced the exits of big names in recent years, but Pep Guardiola has consistently ensured the team remains at the top. While Al-Nassr had initially shown interest in signing Ederson, they were only willing to offer £25.2 million, far below City’s demand of £42 million.

This could mean that Ederson is set to stay at Manchester City, as the Saudi club looks to finalize the deal for Bento.
