Manchester City officials are concerned about the future of goalkeeper Ederson, who has been offered £900,000-a-week to move to Saudi Arabia. Ederson, who has been with the club since 2017, has been linked with a move that would see him play alongside former teammate Aymeric Laporte and Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite making over 300 appearances and winning multiple titles with Manchester City, Ederson’s future remains uncertain.
The Brazilian goalkeeper missed some games in the recent season due to a facial fracture, facing competition from teammate Stefan Ortega. Ortega has signed a new contract with Manchester City amid interest from Chelsea. While Manchester City is willing to offer Ederson an improved deal, the lucrative offer from Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League poses a significant threat to City retaining their star player.
In addition to Ederson, other Manchester City players including Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, and Matheus Nunes have also been linked with moves to Saudi Arabia. The fear of losing key players to the Middle East has caused concern among Manchester City officials, especially with the significant financial offers being made to the players. Despite the potential financial gains, City is reportedly demanding a high transfer fee for Ederson and may try to retain their players by offering improved contracts.
