Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes has been linked with a move away from the club this summer, with Galatasaray keen on signing him in the coming days.
According to a report by Football Insider, Turkish outfit Galatasaray are prepared to ramp up their efforts to sign Ederson Moraes in the final days of the summer transfer window after failing in their move to sign Diogo Costa from FC Porto.
Ederson Moraes joined Manchester City in a £35 million deal several years ago, and he has fallen down the pecking order at the Premier League club. The veteran goalkeeper needs to depart from the Etihad to play regularly. Moving to Turkey could be ideal for him.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester City can secure an agreement with Galatasaray for the sale of the player. Ederson has been an exceptional performer for Manchester City over the years, but he is not at his best anymore, and this could be the ideal time for the Premier League club to cash in on the South American.
He needs to play regularly, and the Turkish outfit will be able to provide him with the opportunities he needs right now. With the World Cup coming up next year, the 32-year-old will want to be a part of the Brazilian national team setup. He needs regular game time to compete with his country in the upcoming mega event.
Manchester City have already replaced Ederson
Meanwhile, Manchester City have already signed James Trafford earlier this summer, and he has done quite well in the Premier League already. There is no doubt that the Englishman has the quality to become one of the best goalkeepers in the league.
Trafford is the undisputed starter at the club right now, and it is no surprise that the Brazilian goalkeeper is being linked with a move away constantly. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. The South American will look to sort out his future quickly and focus on his football once again.
Manchester City will look to sort out his transfer and recoup some money from his departure. The Citizens have done well to improve the squad this summer, and they will look to plug the remaining gaps in the squad before the window closes. Getting rid of their fringe players will be one of their priorities as well.
