Turkish giants Galatasaray have made a direct approach to Manchester City for goalkeeper Ederson, with the Brazilian emerging as their top target to strengthen the squad between the posts.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray have placed their full focus on securing Ederson’s signature, ruling out the possibility of pursuing Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma. While Donnarumma had been loosely linked, the option was never considered concrete, with the Istanbul club prioritising talks with City for Ederson.

Negotiations are said to be ongoing on both the club and player sides, with discussions potentially playing a pivotal role in shaping Manchester City’s own transfer strategy. Should Ederson leave the Etihad, it could open the door for Pep Guardiola’s side to step up efforts in bringing Donnarumma to the Premier League.

Ederson, who has been a cornerstone of Manchester City’s success under Guardiola, has played a crucial role in the club’s domestic and European triumphs, including multiple Premier League titles and the historic treble in 2023.
