Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes has been linked with a move away from the club ahead of the summer transfer window.
As per a report by Football Insider, Manchester City star Ederson Moraes is increasingly likely to complete a move to Saudi Arabia in the coming months. The Brazilian international has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League in the last 12 months, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
Ederson has proven himself to be a world-class performer for Manchester City since arriving from SL Benfica in a £35 million deal several years ago. However, this might be the right time for him to try out a new challenge.
The experienced goalkeeper has won every major trophy with Manchester City, and he has himself in football. The opportunity to move to Saudi Arabia could be an exciting one for him. He is likely to pocket a lucrative contract in the Saudi Pro League, and that could play a defining role in a decision regarding his future, at this stage of his career.
The Brazilian international is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and his arrival would be a major boost for the Saudi Pro League. Signing a player like him would enhance the global reputation of the competition. It will be interesting to see if a Saudi Arabian club can secure an agreement with Manchester City.
Ederson would be a superb addition
The experienced goalkeeper is still very much at the peak of his powers, and he could be a key player for any Saudi Arabian club for the upcoming seasons. Meanwhile, Manchester City will have to replace him adequately if he leaves the club. They will need a world-class clear to replace him in the summer. Recent reports have linked Manchester City with Diogo Costa.
The 31-year-old goalkeeper has a contract with Manchester City until 2026, and he will enter the final year of his contract this summer. If he does not sign an extension, Manchester City will be under pressure to sell him in the coming months. They will not want to lose a player of his quality as a free agent. Meanwhile, Saudi clubs will look to take advantage of his contract situation and sign him for a knockdown price.
