According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City has rejected a £25 million offer from Al-Nassr for their highly regarded player, Ederson Moraes. Since Pep Guardiola’s arrival in 2016, Manchester City has adopted a policy of allowing players to leave if the buying club meets their fee expectations. This approach simplifies and clarifies their sales process.
However, if an offer does not meet Manchester City’s valuation, they will continue negotiations to achieve the best outcome for all parties involved.
Al-Nassr had hoped to finalize a deal for Ederson Moraes within a week, adding him to their roster of star players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Aymeric Laporte, Sadio Mane, and Marcelo Brozovic.
Ederson, described as “amazing” by Andy Townsend, has been participating in pre-season training with Manchester City, as shown on the club’s official X (formerly Twitter) page.
Romano reported that Manchester City turned down Al-Nassr’s initial €30 million (£25.2 million) offer, stating they “won’t accept this amount.” The Italian journalist noted that the 30-year-old Ederson is interested in joining a Saudi Arabian team, but Manchester City is demanding over €50 million (£42 million) for his transfer.
The negotiation hinges on both clubs reaching an agreement. Manchester City is determined to stick to their valuation of Ederson. Given his importance to the team and his status as one of the world’s top goalkeepers, Manchester City feels justified in seeking a higher fee.
If Al-Nassr is unwilling to meet their demands, Manchester City is prepared to either keep Ederson or entertain offers from other clubs.
Ederson’s significance to Manchester City cannot be overstated, and his potential move to the Saudi Pro League would be a notable addition to the league’s talent pool.
However, unless Al-Nassr agrees to Manchester City’s fee expectations, the club is likely to retain their star goalkeeper.
