Manchester City are planning to open contract discussions with goalkeeper Ederson, who has been the subject of transfer interest from Saudi Pro League clubs Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr. Despite lucrative offers, the clubs were unwilling to meet Ederson’s £40m asking price, leading to the signings of alternative options. City understand Ederson’s temptation to move for the money but hope he will commit his future to the club.
City are looking to make Ederson one of the best-paid goalkeepers in Europe with a new contract offer. Manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his praise for the Brazilian goalkeeper, citing his importance in the team’s success, including key saves in the Champions League campaign. The club values Ederson and wants to show him how much he is valued by offering a competitive contract to ensure loyalty.
Despite interest from Saudi clubs, a move for Ederson seems unlikely as City aim to secure his long-term future. The goalkeeper currently earns £100,000 a week, but the new contract offer could see him earn even more, establishing his position as a top-paid goalkeeper. City hope to tie Ederson down to a new deal and continue to benefit from his talent and contributions to the team.
