**Manchester City are preparing an offer for Chelsea goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup as Scott Carson leaves the club, as per a new report.**
Carson has spent six seasons at the Etihad Stadium in a backup role to Ederson and the likes of Zack Steffen and Stefan Ortega Moreno, maintaining popular influence in the Manchester City dressing room.
The 39-year-old won the UEFA Champions League with Liverpool in 2005 and before Manchester City eventually got over the line in 2023, the veteran Englishman remained the only member of Pep Guardiola’s squad to have tasted Champions League success.
However, the club have now confirmed Carson’s summer exit and it remains to be seen whether Ederson or Ortega Moreno follow him through the exit door as the pair continue to be linked with a departure ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
Pep Guardiola recently said he expects Ederson and Ortega Moreno to continue with the club into the new season but the former wanted to leave for Saudi Arabia last summer and remains keen on a switch – and the latter wouldn’t refute a move back to Germany either.
However, as Manchester City announce the signings of Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Ait-Nouri before the ongoing transfer window shuts on Tuesday June 10, more fresh faces could be in the offing for the plane to the United States at the end of the week.
As per [Mike McGrath reporting for Telegraph Sport](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/06/09/man-city-eye-chelsea-marcus-bettinelli-replace-scott/), Manchester City are ready to offer Chelsea a small fee to sign goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli in time to be registered for the Club World Cup after announcing Carson’s upcoming departure.
