Ligue 1 giants PSG are all set to battle Saudi Pro League clubs for the services of Manchester City shot-stopper Ederson Moraes.
According to a report from Fichajes, PSG are looking to reinforce their goalkeeping position, and they are interested in the services of Ederson Moraes, who has attracted a lot of interest from the Middle East.
The Brazilian shot-stopper made the move to Manchester City in the summer of 2017 from Benfica in a deal worth €40 million. Ederson has already repaid every penny that has been spent on bringing him to the club. The 31-year-old has been a key figure in their team helping them win numerous silverware.
He has played a massive part in all the success they have had in the Premier League as well as the Champions League. While he remains an integral part of their first team and still has over 18 months left on his current contract, Ederson’s future doesn’t look certain.
The former Benfica star was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia during the summer. Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli were the two clubs who showcased interest in signing him. While Ederson ended up staying put in the recently concluded window, things could take a different turn next summer.
PSG enter the race for Ederson’s services
Clubs from the Middle East retain interest in his services and could knock on Manchester City’s door next summer. But, they will face significant competition from PSG, who have entered the race for the 31-year-old goalkeeper’s signature.
The Ligue 1 champions are looking to bring in a new goalkeeper as they are not satisfied with the performances of Gianluigi Donnarumma. The former AC Milan shot-stopper has not been consistent enough of late, and PSG feel Ederson’s arrival could help them significantly.
Les Parisiens seem to be the leading candidate for his services, and they can surely give the Middle Eastern clubs a run for their money. With Ederson assessing his future and PSG ready to pounce, Manchester City do have a massive task at their hands of convincing the Brazilian to continue in England given how important he has been to their success.
