Manchester City is facing a decision regarding the future of goalkeeper Ederson, with a bid reportedly on the table from a Saudi Pro League side. With the club’s pre-season starting soon, uncertainty remains over who will be the first-choice goalkeeper for the upcoming season. While Ederson has been considering a move to Saudi Arabia, City has been preparing for his possible departure.
Ederson has allegedly approved a four-year deal with Al-Nassr, with a salary of €12.5 million per year. The club has been given a 48-hour deadline to accept an offer of €25-30 million for the goalkeeper, or else Al-Nassr may turn their attention to Liverpool’s Alisson. The decision on Ederson’s future will determine whether City will need to look for a replacement in the transfer market.
Should Ederson leave, Manchester City may turn to backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno, who signed a long-term contract extension. Ortega has performed well in Ederson’s absence during the previous season, giving Pep Guardiola confidence in his abilities. The uncertainty surrounding Ederson’s future is likely to be resolved within a short timeframe, with City needing to make a decision soon.
