There remains a significant gap in valuation between Manchester City and Al-Ittihad regarding Éderson’s potential transfer. Manchester City is holding out for a package worth between €50 million and €60 million. However, Al-Ittihad is not yet close to meeting this asking price.
Despite speculation, journalist Fabrizio Romano confirms that recent reports linking Kevin De Bruyne to Al-Ittihad are false. There have been no discussions regarding De Bruyne’s move to the Saudi club.
🚨🔵 There’s still big gap in valuation as of today between Al Ittihad and Man City for Éderson.
City insist on €50/60m package, Saudi club still not close to that fee as things stand.

As for Ederson, while Manchester City was shaken by transfer requests from key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson at the end of the 2023-24 season, it appears that Ederson is nearing the end of his time at the Etihad. The goalkeeper has reportedly agreed to join Al-Ittihad, but the transfer is still pending due to the unresolved financial details.
