Manchester City may be facing the potential departure of first-choice goalkeeper Ederson, with interest from Saudi Arabia. Ederson, who has won everything with Manchester City since joining in 2017, is reportedly open to a new challenge away from the club.
To prepare for a possible exit, Manchester City have secured their number two goalkeeper, Stefan Ortega, to a contract extension until 2026. However, this has not eased concerns among fans about life without Ederson. Speculation suggests that an agreement for Ederson to join a Saudi Arabian club and earn £1 million-per-week may be close to completion.
The club is now looking into potential replacements for Ederson, with reports linking them to Brazilian under-23 international Mycael as a new number two goalkeeper. More ambitious moves for players like Mike Maignan from AC Milan or Diogo Costa from FC Porto could also be considered as Manchester City officials search for a new number one goalkeeper.
