Ederson is considering a surprise move to Turkey as his time at "Manchester City" appears to be winding down. The 31-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper has reportedly agreed personal terms with "Galatasaray", who have now made their first official approach to the English champions.
The Turkish giants have tabled a €10 million bid for the Ederson services, though this falls short of what "City" are asking for their experienced shot-stopper. Still, negotiations are clearly progressing.
"The situation is developing quickly, with both clubs now in active discussions," a source close to the negotiations revealed.
Interestingly, "Manchester City" aren't waiting around to find a replacement. The Premier League champions are already in talks with Gianluigi Donnarumma from "PSG" as they prepare for life after their Brazilian number one.
Ederson's potential departure comes after a solid season where he appeared in 37 matches, keeping 12 clean sheets while conceding 48 goals. Not bad numbers, but perhaps "City" feel it's time for fresh blood between the posts.
The Brazilian's technical ability with his feet revolutionized goalkeeping in England when he arrived, but is Turkey really the next logical step in his career? And what does this mean for "Galatasaray's" European ambitions?
With personal terms reportedly agreed, all that remains is for the clubs to find common ground on the transfer fee. The Turkish transfer window provides additional time for this deal to materialize even if it doesn't conclude before the Premier League deadline.
