Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the future of Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson amid reports linking him with Al-Nassr.
Ederson has been linked with a move away from Manchester City all summer, with Galatasaray deemed the frontrunners for his signature.
However, there have been conflicting reports on the Ederson situation.
For instance, Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola claimed Ederson wants to stay in the Premier League, while ESPN Brasil have reported that Al-Nassr are keen.
The latter report claims Jorge Jesus, the head coach of the Saudi Pro League giants, is keen on the Brazil international.

Why Pep Guardiola might be disappointed over Al-Nassr not being in the Ederson picture
Pep Guardiola would have probably wanted Al-Nassr to be in the picture for two reasons.
The first is that Ederson would be completely out of the picture in terms of Man City potentially coming up against him any time soon.
Should Ederson go to Galatasaray, City run the risk of going up against him in the Champions League this season.
And the second reason is that Al-Nassr could help spark a bidding war for Galatasaray, which would drive Ederson’s price up.
Al-Nassr boast considerable financial muscle, so Man City could well have made more money had they been involved.
