Galatasaray step up talks for Man City goalkeeper Ederson

Galatasaray have ramped up their talks with Manchester City for the signing of Ederson (h/t German journalist Florian Plettenberg).

The Turkish giants already have a verbal agreement in place with the Man City star.

Ederson is facing an uncertain future at the Etihad Stadium following the arrival of James Trafford from Burnley in a £31 million deal.

The English shot-stopper is poised to become Pep Guardiola’s new number one in the 2025/26 season.

A deal for Paris Saint-Germain keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is in the works, with Man City already securing an agreement on the player’s side.

The Italian’s potential arrival puts Ederson’s position in jeopardy and could lead to his exit.

The former Benfica man’s contract expires next summer, and City will try to acquire a reasonable sum from his sale.

Gala have been exploring the market for a goalkeeper since the departure of club legend Fernando Muslera at the end of the last season.

They tried to tempt Inter Milan’s Yann Sommer with a lucrative offer, but their efforts ended in vain.

Gunay Guvenc kept a clean sheet in the season opener against Gaziantep, but Ederson would be a better option for the Super Lig giants.

Ederson will go down as one of the best keepers in Man City’s history following his unparalleled success.

A central figure in Guardiola’s era, the Brazilian has won six Premier League titles, one Champions League and several other trophies.
