Negotiations between Al Nassr and Manchester City for Ederson have hit a roadblock, with the Saudi Arabian club’s initial €30m proposal rejected and a subsequent €60m request deemed too high. As a result, Al Nassr has shifted its focus to Athletico Paranaense’s Bento, who has emerged as a top target.
This development raises questions about Ederson’s future at the Etihad Stadium. With only two years remaining on his current deal, the Brazilian goalkeeper’s long-term commitment to the club is uncertain. Manchester City may need to persuade Ederson to sign a new contract or risk losing him in the near future.

Now that Al-Nassr have shifted their attention towards signing Bento, Manchester City should be looking to convince the treble-winner to stay at the club and tie him down to a new contract.
