Manchester City’s Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson has been the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia, with reports suggesting he could be open to a move to the Middle-East following injury troubles last season. Stefan Ortega Moreno, the club’s back-up choice, had performed well in Ederson’s absence, leading to speculation that he could become the new number one for Manchester City.
Despite reports of an agreement on personal terms with a Saudi Pro League team, a new development from City Report claims that Al Nassr has officially ended their interest in Ederson for this summer. This news will come as a significant blow to both the league and the player, as they were hoping to secure a big-money signing.
The potential exit of Ederson would have led to Manchester City searching for a new goalkeeper, with initial options limited and finances stretched. The club will now feel a sense of relief with Al Nassr pulling out of the race to sign Ederson, making their transfer window plans easier as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
