Two football clubs from Saudi Arabia are interested in acquiring a star player from Manchester City, with the transfer fee estimated to be between €45 million and €50 million.

Saudi Clubs Eye Manchester City Star in €45-50m Deal

Two Saudi Pro League teams, Al Nassr and Al Ittihad, are keen on acquiring Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson this summer, with a potential transfer fee between €45-50 million, according to CaughtOffside.

The Brazilian goalkeeper is a top target for Al Nassr as their current keeper, David Ospina, faces an expiring contract next month, and a decision on his future remains pending.

This situation has prompted Al Nassr to consider Ederson, especially since his future at Manchester City is uncertain. Sources close to the matter have informed CaughtOffside that the Premier League champions might be willing to sell if the offer is right, estimated at around €45-50 million.

Ederson has enjoyed a stellar career at Etihad Stadium, but it seems City is now open to letting him decide if he wants to seek a new challenge. In the event of his departure, Pep Guardiola’s team may look for a replacement in the market or promote Stefan Ortega as their new first-choice goalkeeper.

 What’s Next for Ederson?

Ederson could be the latest high-profile signing for a Saudi Arabian club, following a trend that has seen many top talents move to the region. Manchester City itself sold Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte to Saudi clubs last summer.
