An imminent transfer from Man City to the Saudi Pro League has been disclosed by former Al-Nassr player.

A journalist this week relayed the information that Manchester City may be on the brink of a significant departure from their first-team squad, as per a former Al-Nassr player.

The future of first-choice custodian Ederson has been the subject of much speculation during the ongoing summer transfer window. Saudi Arabia has shown increasing interest in the Brazilian player, with the expectation that he could be their next significant acquisition from Europe.

From the perspective of the 30-year-old shot-stopper, there is some optimism that he may be amenable to the prospect of a new challenge outside of Manchester City, a club at which he has achieved every conceivable victory since his arrival in 2017.

At the same time, Manchester City have taken the necessary measures to secure their goalkeeping future for the upcoming season by signing Stefan Ortega, their impressive number two choice, to a new contract extension that will extend until the summer of 2026.

However, this will undoubtedly not alleviate the apprehension among Manchester City’s fan base regarding the club’s future without Ederson, as the most recent rumours and reports suggest that an agreement involving the Brazil international is now on the brink of being finalised.

According to journalist Sam C on X, every Saudi Arabian club will be informed of their budget for the current summer transfer window either today or tomorrow.

The most recent rumours, according to a former Al-Nassr player, suggest that Manchester City custodian Ederson is “close” to signing a contract with the Saudi Pro League, which would entitle him to a weekly salary of £1 million.

Currently, Manchester City has not identified a specific individual to whom they could turn in the event that they need to acquire a new custodian this summer, whether it be a new number one or a backup to Stefan Ortega.

On Wednesday, a report indicated that supporters are interested in Brazil under-23 international Mycael, who is rumoured to have admirers at Manchester City. The 20-year-old is being considered as the club’s new number two.

Etihad Stadium transfer officials have been associated with more ambitious transactions for players such as Mike Maignan of AC Milan and Diogo Costa of FC Porto, according to other reports. If Manchester City executives are seeking a new number one, both players could be taken into consideration.
