A Manchester City player may transfer to Saudi Arabia during the summer, surprising many fans.

Ederson has been a key player for Manchester City, having won six Premier League titles with the club since his arrival from Benfica in 2017. However, recent rumors have linked the 30-year-old goalkeeper with a potential move away from the Premier League champions, with Saudi Arabia showing interest in acquiring his signature.

Despite Ederson's impressive record and contract with Manchester City until 2026, there has been talk that he may be seeking a new opportunity elsewhere. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, a summer move for Ederson is a "possibility" as he considers his options during the summer break. While there is sure to be interest from clubs across Europe, it has been reported that teams in the Saudi Pro League are already eyeing Ederson for a potential transfer.

Unfortunately, Ederson's season ended on a sour note as he suffered a fractured eye socket during a clash with Tottenham last week. This injury caused him to miss the final Premier League game of the season and the upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester United at Wembley. As a result, he has also been left out of Brazil's squad for the upcoming Copa America.

Despite his absence, Ederson's replacement, Stefan Ortega, received high praise for his performance against Tottenham, particularly for his save against Son Heung-min. However, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola made sure to acknowledge Ederson's contribution to the team, reminding everyone of his crucial saves in previous matches, such as the Champions League final against Madrid last season.

Guardiola also highlighted the importance of having two top-quality goalkeepers in modern football, with Ederson and Ortega being the perfect examples. While Ederson is undoubtedly the first choice for Manchester City, Guardiola emphasized that there is not a significant gap between him and Ortega, as both are essential for the team's success. It has been a challenging season for Ederson, with multiple injuries, but his impact on the team cannot be understated.
