Pep Guardiola's Manchester City squad has been on a remarkable journey, thanks in part to the exceptional performance of goalkeeper Ederson. As the summer transfer window approaches, it seems that City's rivals are eager to snatch up the Brazilian star, with Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr making a tempting bid of £25 million. However, City is holding out for at least £42 million for their prized goalkeeper.
It's no surprise that Ederson has caught the attention of Al Nassr, as he would undoubtedly be a valuable addition to their team. After all, the 30-year-old has been a key player in City's success since joining from Benfica in 2017, helping the club win six Premier League titles and the coveted Champions League trophy. He has also proven his worth on the international stage, competing with fellow Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker for the number one spot and earning 25 caps for his country.
While Ederson still has many years of football ahead of him, he is reportedly considering a move to Saudi Arabia from the Premier League. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, City has rejected Al Nassr's initial bid of €30 million and is holding out for at least €50 million for Ederson's transfer. It's also been reported that the goalkeeper has already agreed to make the move and is simply waiting for the clubs to reach an agreement.
Despite Al Nassr's tempting offer of £900,000-a-week, City is determined to keep hold of their star goalkeeper. They plan to hold talks with Ederson next week in hopes of convincing him to stay, and they are willing to significantly increase his current salary to around £1 million a month. However, if Ederson is set on leaving for Saudi Arabia, City will not stand in his way as long as Al Nassr meets their asking price.
In the end, it seems that Ederson's future is uncertain, with both Manchester City and Al Nassr vying for his talents. As fans eagerly await the outcome of negotiations, one thing is for sure - Ederson's contributions to Manchester City's success will not be forgotten, no matter where his career takes him next.
