According to <a href="https://x.com/Glongari/status/1808616299636920440" target="_blank">Gianluigi Longari,</a> the Brazilian international has agreed personal terms with the club, and negotiations are now underway with Manchester City. This potential transfer could mark the end of Ederson's illustrious stint in the Premier League and open a new chapter in the Saudi Pro League. It has been reported that the proposal is for a two-year <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-offer-for-ederson-two-year-contract-man-city-saudi-arabia/blt05d3b5ed82c096fa#csf0696405beecbae0" target="_blank">contract worth an impressive €60 million (£51m/$65m).</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Saudi Pro League has been making headlines with its aggressive pursuit of top-tier talent from Europe. Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr was a significant milestone, and the league continues to lure elite players to its ranks. Ederson's potential transfer is part of this broader strategy to enhance the league's competitiveness and global appeal. The goalkeeper's arrival would also help Al-Nassr replace David Ospina who has left the club upon expiry of his contract.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Replacing a goalkeeper of Ederson's calibre is no small task. Back-up stopper Stefan Ortega Moreno recently extended his contract with the club until the summer of 2026 and could be promoted to the No.1 spot if Ederson indeed leaves the club. Moreover, AC Milan's Mike Maignan and FC Porto's Diogo Costa have reportedly emerged as potential targets. Maignan's outstanding performances for Milan and Costa's heroics in the European Championship have made them suitable candidates to take over the gloves at the Etihad Stadium.

DID YOU KNOW?

A separate <a href="https://www.caughtoffside.com/2024/06/08/al-nassr-man-city-ederson/" target="_blank">report</a> revealed that City could potentially demand €40 million (£34m/$43m) for the goalkeeper. It remains to be seen if Al-Nassr can match the asking price and lure the keeper away to the Middle East.
