To date, this summer’s Manchester City transfer window has not seen any significant developments. The defending Premier League champions are the center of considerable attention, particularly from Saudi Arabian soccer clubs. The Citizen’s goalkeeper Ederson has been under scrutiny by several Saudi clubs for an extended period. But Pep Guardiola seems to be one step ahead. At a time when they sign some of the best players in the world, one may witness a radical shift in North West England.

Notably, clubs like Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Al Nassr and Al Ittihad have shown keen interest in acquiring the Brazilian star. According to the latest reports, Al Ittihad has proposed a substantial $64.5 million offer to secure Ederson’s services. However, manager Pep Guardiola appears proactive in his planning. Should the 30-year-old decide and accept this lucrative offer, the Sky-Blues are prepared to target Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as a potential replacement.

Renowned sports journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that Manchester City has established contact with PSG regarding the Italian shot-stopper should Ederson depart. However, the road ahead is far from smooth for Pep Guardiola and his ambition. It has been reported that Donnarumma is content with the French side and has even held talks about extending his contract.

Nonetheless, the Italian goalkeeper always expressed interest in playing in the Premier League and could be tempted away for a move.

Pep Guardiola himself has been a great fan of Donnarumma!

In the past, he has even called him a ‘ top goalkeeper’. Although the PSG goalkeeper has encountered challenges over the past two years, there is no denying the quality he brings in.

In parallel, Stefan Ortega arrives at the scenario, demonstrating that he can step up as Manchester City’s primary goalkeeper should Ederson depart. As discussions about the Brazilian’s potential exit intensify, another significant concern emerges for the Premier League side with a Premier League legend also considering a move.

Manchester City set to face two potential losses!

For some time now, Kevin De Bruyne has been linked with a transfer to Saudi Arabia, and joining Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr appeared likely after he expressed openness to relocating to the Middle East. However, recent reports suggest that the 33-year-old may have agreed on personal terms with Al-Ittihad instead.

Despite these swirling speculations, Fabrizio Romano has refuted these claims regarding the Belgian’s future move as unfounded. The renowned journalist reported that Kevin De Bruyne is not even part of Al Ittihad’s offer, as they set their sights on Ederson. The outcome remains uncertain for Manchester City.

They could potentially face major setbacks if both Ederson and Kevin De Bruyne were to leave or navigate through yet another twist in this unfolding saga.
