Manchester City have reportedly been approached by Galatasaray with a €3 million (£2.6m/$3.5m) offer for goalkeeper Ederson as the Turkish giants are interested in luring the experienced Brazilian away from the Etihad. The Super Lig title holders believe Ederson is the right fit as they are searching for a long-term successor to Fernando Muslera.

Ederson’s time at City may be nearing its conclusion as Pep Guardiola begins reshaping his squad ahead of the upcoming campaign. Although City have yet to issue a formal response to the bid, the initial figure is considered significantly below market value for a player of Ederson’s calibre and pedigree, as reported by

Since his arrival in 2017 from Benfica in a £35m ($47m) deal, Ederson has been an integral part of City’s domestic and European dominance. Across 372 appearances in all competitions, the 31-year-old has recorded an impressive 168 clean sheets and contributed to a trophy-laden era under Guardiola. His honours include six Premier League crowns, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups and the coveted UEFA Champions League among other successes.

While Galatasaray have made the first concrete move, they are not alone in their pursuit. Saudi Arabian sides Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad have also shown strong interest in signing Ederson and are expected to remain in contention. Both clubs are reportedly prepared to offer lucrative packages to tempt the Brazilian to the Middle East. Nevertheless, Galatasaray's edge lies in Ederson’s enthusiasm for their sporting project and potential Champions League involvement, which may weigh heavily in his decision-making process.
