Turkish Super Lig giants Fenerbahce are hoping to sign Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes before the summer transfer window closes.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Fenerbahce are pushing to sign Ederson Moraes in the summer transfer window. The Yellow Canaries have failed with a bid to sign the Brazilian international but have continued talks with Manchester City. It will be interesting to see if they can wrap up the move quickly
Manchester City forked out €40 million to sign Ederson serveral years ago. The player has been linked with an exit, and he is no longer a key player for Manchester City. He needs to move on in search of regular playing time, and moving to Turkey could be ideal for him.
Recent reports have linked Ederson with Galatasaray, but that move has not seen the light of day. He has proven himself to be a quality goalkeeper in the Premier League over the years. There is no doubt that the veteran goalkeeper would improve Fenerbahce if he joins the club. It could be an exciting opportunity for him at this stage of his career.
Ederson needs to leave Manchester City
Manchester City have already replaced Ederson with James Trafford, and the Brazilian needs to play regularly in order to cement his place in the Brazilian national team setup for the upcoming World Cup. Moving to Turkey will allow him to showcase his qualities at a high level regularly. It remains to be seen whether he can make an instant impact in Turkish football.
The 32-year-old was one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League in the last few seasons, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in Turkey as well. Signing a player of his quality and experience will be a major coup for Fenerbahce. Apart from his quality as a goalkeeper, his winning experience and leadership skills could prove to be an excellent addition.
It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can wrap up the move quickly. Manchester City will look to use the funds from his departure to improve the squad further. The Citizens missed out on the Premier League title last season, and they will be desperate to win the Premier League this season. They could use as much quality as they can get.
