Manchester City legend Ederson looks like he could sign for Fenerbahce sooner rather than later.
Fenerbahce launched a second bid to sign Ederson worth £10.3 million excluding additional add-ons — a proposal City reportedly turned down as they were demanding £12.9 million.
The Brazilian international was named on the bench once again as Manchester City lost 2-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion — which further emphasised that he could be set to join a new club.
James Trafford admitted he idolises Ederson but Turkey is reported to be his teammate’s most likely destination.

Ederson has said yes to Fenerbahce move
Ederson is one of Manchester City’s greatest players of all time and even if Gianluigi Donnarumma joins Pep Guardiola’s side on deadline day, the former will be missed at the Etihad Stadium.
The six-time Premier League winner had an instantly transformative impact on Pep Guardiola’s side due to how outstanding he is with the ball at his feet and as a sweeper-‘keeper.

However, Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu has reported that Ederson has accepted Fenerbahce’s offer.
If Manchester City approve of Fenerbahce’s latest bid, the deal will get over the line.
What Man City have done to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma as Ederson replacement
It seems like the decorated goalkeeper’s move to the Turkish side could be finalised on deadline day if City decide to go ahead with the transfer.
Manchester City are planning Donnarumma’s medical in anticipation for his arrival while Fenerbahce work in the background to sign Ederson.
The Sky Blues are believed to be preparing in advance as there is not much time left for the ongoing transfer window to slam shut.
If Donnarumma does sign for City, he could make his debut in a Manchester Derby of all games.
