Manchester City Goal keeper Ederson leaves Man City this morning to join shocking Premier League Club as Guardiola makes key De Bruyne, Bernardo transfer decisions

Manchester City is poised to revamp their goalkeeping lineup next season, with a potential transfer deal in the works to replace the incumbent Ederson. The Brazilian shot-stopper’s future at the Etihad Stadium has been uncertain, given his reported desire to join the Saudi Pro League last summer and his inconsistent playing time this season.

Despite Pep Guardiola’s continued faith in Ederson, the manager’s reliance on Stefan Ortega in several key matches has sparked speculation about Ederson’s long-term prospects. With Football Insider previously revealing that “massive offers” are expected to flood in for the City goalkeeper, it seems likely that Ederson will depart in the summer.

In anticipation of Ederson’s exit, Manchester City has been actively pursuing Porto’s Diogo Costa as a potential replacement. According to insiders, talks between the two clubs have reached an advanced stage, with a £51 million transfer fee on the table. Goalkeeping coach Xabier Mancisidor reportedly held a remote meeting with Costa, during which the Portuguese goalkeeper gave his nod of approval for the potential move.

However, Porto is holding firm on Costa’s £64 million release clause, despite Manchester City’s attempts to negotiate a lower fee. Costa’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has been instrumental in facilitating discussions, but the final price tag remains a point of contention between the two clubs.
