Ederson closes in on Galatasaray deal and moves closer to leaving Manchester City

Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson is close to completing a transfer from Manchester City to Galatasaray, according to reports from Turkey. The Turkish giants have reached an agreement in principle with the 30-year-old on personal terms, and are now working to finalize a deal with the Premier League champions.

€10 Million Transfer Deal in Final Stages

Negotiations between the two clubs are focused on reaching a fee in the region of €10 million (R$64.1 million). While no official agreement has been signed yet, sources close to the deal suggest that a final decision could be made in the coming days, potentially ending Ederson’s seven-year stint in England.

Since joining City in 2017, Ederson has been a crucial figure in Pep Guardiola’s side, helping the club to multiple Premier League titles and their first-ever UEFA Champions League crown in 2023.

Galatasaray Sees Ederson as a Star Signing

Galatasaray views Ederson’s arrival as a strategic reinforcement, aiming to bolster the squad ahead of both domestic competition and the UEFA Champions League. The Turkish side has reportedly offered the Brazilian a lucrative contract with guarantees of a starting role.

If confirmed, Ederson would become one of the most high-profile signings in the Turkish Süper Lig this summer, joining a growing list of international stars who have moved to Türkiye in recent windows.

Manchester City Planning for the Future

While City have not officially commented, Ederson’s potential departure could signal a shift in Guardiola’s squad planning. Backup keeper Stefan Ortega has impressed in limited appearances, and the club may look to promote from within or pursue a replacement.

The official announcement of Ederson’s transfer is expected shortly, pending the final agreement between the clubs.
