Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has returned to training with the club amidst fresh transfer interest from Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad. Despite appearing to be in good spirits with his teammates, there are still uncertainties surrounding his future with the club next season. Al Nassr had previously shown interest in Ederson but retracted their offer due to differences in valuation.
Manchester City is holding firm on their valuation of Ederson, believed to be closer to £50 million than the £25 million offered by Al Nassr. If a deal is reached with Al Ittihad, City would look to sign a replacement goalkeeper, with Stefan Ortega being a potential candidate for the number one role. Other reports suggest that PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma could be a target, although concerns exist about his role in the squad and adaptation to City’s style of play.
There is also speculation about the potential return of England goalkeeper James Trafford, who was sold to Burnley last summer. City may consider re-signing him as part of their goalkeeping options for the upcoming season. Overall, there are various possibilities in play for City’s goalkeeping situation, with decisions to be made based on upcoming developments.
