Manchester City has seen several players leave the club in the current summer transfer window, including Sergio Gomez, Liam Delap, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Reports suggest that more players from Pep Guardiola’s squad could be on their way out, with Ederson being linked to a move away from the Etihad Stadium. Al Nassr made an offer for the goalkeeper, but City’s high valuation led to the deal falling through. Journalist Ben Jacobs mentioned on talkSPORT that Al-Ittihad could now be interested in Ederson, as they have cooled off on Chelsea’s Kepa.

City rejected Al Nassr’s offer of €30m for Ederson and would reportedly want €60m to consider selling him. As City’s first-choice goalkeeper, Ederson is considered a key player and a unique weapon for the team. It is unlikely that City will entertain offers below their asking price for the Brazilian shot-stopper. Regardless of any potential offers, City should prioritize keeping Ederson as an essential part of their squad.

With Al Nassr out of the picture, Al-Ittihad could emerge as potential suitors for Ederson, but they would need to meet City’s high valuation of £30m or more to secure his services. City should stand firm in their valuation of the goalkeeper, as losing such a crucial player could have a detrimental impact on the team. Ultimately, it seems unlikely that City will sell Ederson for anything less than their asking price in this summer transfer window.
