Manchester City are considering Real Madrid goalkeeper Andrey Lunin as a potential transfer target as main goalkeeper Ederson contemplates a move to Saudi Arabia. The Brazilian shot-stopper has reportedly received a lucrative offer prompting him to consider his future after seven years at Manchester City.
There is a belief that Ederson is tempted by the challenge of playing in the Saudi Pro League, leading Manchester City to prepare for a possible departure. The club is rumored to have identified Lunin as a suitable replacement, with the 25-year-old meeting the criteria set by Pep Guardiola and impressing during UEFA Champions League encounters with Real Madrid.
Lunin’s agent, Jorge Mendes, could provide an advantage for Manchester City in securing the Ukrainian goalkeeper’s services.
