Championship goalkeeper surfaces as surprise top choice to replace Man City’s Ederson
This summer, Manchester City have purportedly placed the profile of a standout Championship custodian on their transfer radar, as there are concerns regarding Ederson’s future.
This summer, the Brazilian number one choice is the subject of intense uncertainty regarding his destiny, attracting widespread interest from the ever-ambitious Saudi Pro League, as well as within his national side and at the Etihad Stadium.
Stefan Ortega Moreno has signed a new one-year contract with Manchester City, which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2026. This has prompted some to question whether it is a sign of an impending exit for the aforementioned Ederson.
At present, the Premier League champions are constructing contingency plans for the goalkeeping position and preparing for what some perceive as a negative outcome, or at least while Ederson continues to evaluate his option and offers from outside of Europe.
The pursuit of a new prospective number one or backup in Pep Guardiola’s first-team squad has resulted in the Championship and the number one position at one of the most prominent clubs in the division.
Anthony Patterson of Sunderland is being linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium, while Stefan Ortega is ‘eager’ to be given the opportunity to become Manchester City’s number one, according to the information of GIVEMESPORT.
According to reports, the Premier League champions have been watching the 24-year-old Englishman’s progress in the Championship with “admiring glances” as a result of his “consistent performances.”
Nevertheless, it is evident that City’s intention at this time is to either recruit a direct replacement for Ederson, who will ascend to the top of the goalkeeping hierarchy, or to secure an understudy to Stefan Ortega.
Last season, Patterson made an astonishing 45 appearances in Championship competition for Sunderland, securing 13 clean sheets and conceding 52 goals.
In recent seasons, Manchester City has had a significant presence in the Championship at the shot-stopping position, as they have produced some exceptional players through their academy system.
In recent seasons, James Trafford and Gavin Bazunu secured significant financial transfers to the division, joining Burnley, Bolton, and Southampton, respectively. Their success at these teams varied.
AC Milan and France international Mike Maignan, as well as FC Porto and Portugal star Diogo Costa, are additional prospective candidates for Manchester City’s first-choice goalkeeping position.
