Manchester City’s dependable shot-stopper Ederson Moraes could be on his way out, with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad circling the Brazilian star. Reports suggest both City and Ederson are open to a transfer, provided the price is right.

There’s no questioning Ederson’s brilliance. Since joining the Citizens in 2017, he’s been a cornerstone of Pep Guardiola’s success. His exceptional distribution and sweeping ability perfectly complement City’s possession-based style. But, with two years left on his contract, it seems Ederson might be seeking a new challenge.

Al-Ittihad’s reported £25 million offer seems a bit light for a goalkeeper of Ederson’s caliber. However, with Ederson approaching 31 and the lure of a lucrative contract in a growing league, a move to Saudi Arabia shouldn’t be completely ruled out.

While Manchester City fans will be sad to see Ederson go, they can be grateful for his contributions. He’s not just a world-class goalkeeper; he’s been a key figure in City’s recent dominance. The Citizens will undoubtedly look to find a suitable replacement, but Ederson’s shoes will be big ones to fill.
