Galatasaray Launch Official Bid For Ederson As Manchester City Name Squad For Wolves Clash

Manchester City played without their star goalkeeper, Ederson, in their Premier League game against Wolves on Saturday, as Galatasaray made an official offer for the Brazilian veteran. Negotiations between the two clubs are now ongoing.

EDERSON LEFT OUT AS TRANSFER TALKS BEGIN

Ederson’s absence from Manchester City’s matchday squad for the Wolves game immediately drew attention. Hours earlier, Galatasaray submitted a formal €10 million offer for a permanent transfer, aiming to secure the experienced shot-stopper as their new first-choice goalkeeper. The Turkish club have reportedly offered Ederson a five-year contract with a salary of €8 million per season. Galatasaray, who returned to Champions League football this season, view Ederson as the ideal replacement for Fernando Muslera, their long-serving captain who left this summer. It has been reported that Ederson has agreed on a contract with Galatasaray until June 2028, earning €7 million a season plus bonuses.

MANCHESTER CITY AND EDERSON’S RECENT FORM

This development arrives as Manchester City try to reclaim the title in the Premier League, having finished 3rd last season, and not having won any trophy. Reports confirm that Ederson won’t play this weekend against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The club recently re-signed James Trafford from Burnley to provide depth in the goalkeeping department, though City maintains they wish to keep Ederson unless a satisfactory offer arrives.

THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FACTOR AND WHAT’S NEXT

Galatasaray are racing against time to register new players for the Champions League, with a deadline of September 2 for eligible signings. Their league campaign has started strongly, sitting second in the Super Lig after three games. City, meanwhile, prepare for their next Premier League clash against Wolves. Wolves finished 16th, while City will want a strong start to keep the Premier League ambitions alive. If Ederson’s exit is finalized, Manchester City may accelerate their pursuit of Gianluigi Donnarumma, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly open to his departure. Developments in the coming days could reshape the goalkeeping landscape for both Manchester City and Galatasaray, as Manchester City are open to exploring a deal for Ederson if they receive a good offer.
