Reports linking Brazilian Ederson, Manchester City’s goalkeeper, with a move away from the English Premier League this summer are increasing, amid strong interest from Saudi clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, as well as Turkish club Galatasaray.

The interest from Al-Nassr in Ederson stems from several factors, most notably the coach Jorge Jesus’s dissatisfaction with the performance of Argentine goalkeeper Pinto, who conceded 54 goals in 49 matches last season, with only 15 clean sheets.

Ederson is considered one of the best goalkeepers globally, having played 372 matches with Manchester City, during which he conceded 311 goals and kept a clean sheet in 168 matches, highlighting his defensive solidity and on-field experience.

The Brazilian goalkeeper is also distinguished by his high ability to play with his feet, which is a key tactical feature that Jorge Jesus seeks to enhance the build-up play from the back according to his technical vision for the upcoming season.

At 31 years old, Ederson is at the peak of his performance and possesses significant experience in handling pressure, which enhances his value for any team aiming to achieve titles both locally and continentally.

According to Turkish journalist Akram Konur, Manchester City has given the goalkeeper the green light to negotiate with interested clubs, confirming his imminent departure amid intense Saudi-Turkish competition to finalize the anticipated deal.
