According to talkSPORT, Ederson’s position at Manchester City is also in flux. The Brazilian goalkeeper, a key player for Pep Guardiola’s side, has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia.
However, just like De Bruyne, Ederson’s situation revolves around a hefty price tag. Manchester City is demanding a fee exceeding £30 million for the Brazilian shot-stopper.
Similar to De Bruyne, Ederson’s contract expires next summer, meaning some clubs might be content to wait for a free transfer in 2025. This strategy could backfire though, as Ederson remains a world-class goalkeeper, and City might not be willing to let him go for free.
Al Ittihad, who boast a star-studded squad featuring Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and Fabinho, are considering Ederson alongside De Bruyne.
However, they’ve also explored the possibility of signing West Ham’s Alphonse Areola. With Ederson’s future uncertain, Manchester City faces a decision: sell him now for a significant fee or risk losing him for nothing next year.
