Manchester City’s star goalkeeper Ederson could be on his way out of the Premier League, with shock reports emerging that the Brazilian is in advanced talks with Turkish side Galatasaray.
The 30-year-old, who has been a key figure in Pep Guardiola’s dominant City side, is said to be considering a move to Istanbul as Galatasaray prepare a lucrative offer to lure him away from the Etihad.
Why Would Ederson Leave Man City?
Ederson has been a cornerstone of City’s success since joining from Benfica in 2017, winning multiple Premier League titles, domestic cups, and the Champions League. However, with City reportedly eyeing younger alternatives, the Brazilian may be tempted by a fresh challenge.
Galatasaray, who won the Turkish Super Lig last season, are keen to bolster their squad with elite talent as they prepare for another title push and a strong Champions League campaign.
What’s the Latest on the Transfer Talks?
Sources suggest negotiations are progressing quickly, with Ederson’s representatives already discussing personal terms. The Turkish club is believed to be ready to offer a significant salary increase, along with a long-term contract.
City, meanwhile, are yet to confirm whether they would sanction the sale, but with a hefty transfer fee likely, they may be tempted to cash in on their veteran shot-stopper.
Who Could Replace Ederson at Man City?
If Ederson departs, Pep Guardiola will need a new No. 1. Names like Porto’s Diogo Costa and Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili have been linked, but City may also look to promote from within, with backup keeper Stefan Ortega waiting in the wings.
One thing is certain – if Ederson leaves, it will mark the end of an era for Manchester City.
