One of Manchester City’s most experienced players is in negotiations to leave the Etihad Stadium for a significant sum of money, which is a huge blow to the team.
Ederson, the Man City goalkeeper, has been linked to a move recently and he has just got an enormous contract offer from Saudi Arabia.
Journalist Cesar Luis Merlo reported on X that Al Nassr, a Saudi Pro League team, had made contact with Ederson.

The Saudi Pro League clubs are getting ready for another busy transfer window in an attempt to entice some of Europe’s top players to the Gulf State.
The Brazil international Ederson may be moving this summer as Saudi Arabia has expressed interest.
The 30-year-old, who is recognised as one of the top goalkeepers in the world, is being pursued by Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr.
He has been a pillar of Man City’s success under manager Pep Guardiola but the Premier League champions have decided not to stand in his way if he wants to move to the lucrative Middle East league.
Although Ederson still has two years left on his Man City deal, he is now in intensive negotiations to move to the Middle East.
Man City are prepared for life without Ederson
The fact that even Man City are unable to compete with the Saudi Pro League demonstrates their financial might.
Second choice goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, who played for Man City last season in Ederson’s absence, could replace the Brazilian in the starting line up.
He showed his quality last season and was one of their best players in the second half of the season as they challenged for trophies.
