Manchester City has set an asking price of €50m for star goalkeeper Ederson, and Al-Ittihad is expected to negotiate the transfer this week.
According to sources close to the deal, Ederson has already agreed personal terms with the elite Saudi Arabian club.
*Ederson’s Departure Looms Large
The Brazilian shot-stopper has been a mainstay at Manchester City, instrumental in their domestic and international successes. His potential departure would leave a significant void, but the allure of a lucrative Saudi Pro League contract has seemingly convinced him to make the switch.
*Kevin De Bruyne Not Part of Saudi Talks
Contrary to earlier reports, Kevin De Bruyne is not involved in negotiations with Al-Ittihad. The Belgian midfielder has been linked to various clubs, but it appears he will not be joining Ederson in the Middle East.
Rumors of Kevin De Bruyne agreeing to personal terms with Al-Ittihad have been categorically denied. The midfielder’s future remains uncertain, but it is clear that he will not be heading to Saudi Arabia.
*Manchester City Braces for Significant Changes
As Ederson’s departure draws near, Manchester City must prepare for a significant overhaul of their squad. The club has already been linked to several goalkeeping targets, and the influx of Saudi riches could lead to further high-profile signings.
*Al-Ittihad’s Ambitious Plans
Al-Ittihad’s pursuit of Ederson and other top talents demonstrates their commitment to becoming a major force in Asian football. With deep pockets and a vision for success, the Saudi club is poised to shake up the global football landscape.
