Man City in new transfer twist as Galatasaray 'submit bid' for Ederson alternative

Galatasaray have reportedly made a bid to sign FC Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.

The Turkish giants have been looking to sign a new goalkeeper this summer, and they have been heavily linked with a move for Manchester City's Ederson.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper has entered the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium, and City are open to letting him go at the right price.

Ederson was left out of City's matchday squad for Saturday's 4-0 Premier League win against Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home.

Galatasaray reportedly submitted an opening bid in the region of £8.6m for the six-time Premier League winner, but City ideally want around £21.6m.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Ederson still remains the priority for Gala, but they are nowhere near securing an agreement with City.

As a result, the Turkish champions are exploring options elsewhere, and Costa has emerged as their top target.

A formal bid in the region of €20m (£17.27m) has been lodged for Costa, as Gala look to secure a deal for one of the top goalkeepers in Europe.

A fresh twist in the goalkeeping situation?

Paris Saint-Germain's Gianluigi Donnarumma celebrates on July 9, 2025

In recent weeks, the Citizens have been strongly linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is expected to leave the club this summer.

It has been suggested that Pep Guardiola's side are working behind the scenes to land the former AC Milan keeper, and they are close to reaching personal agreement with him.

City consider Donnarumma as a replacement for Ederson, and it would be interesting to see what their stance would be if Galatasaray do not return with an improved offer for the Brazilian.

The Italy international is out of contract next summer and PSG have signed Lucas Chevalier from Lille as his potential replacement.
