Manchester City has selected their new goalkeeper in the Premier League!
Ederson’s departure to Galatasaray is getting closer, and Manchester City is getting ready for a significant goal change. With one year left on his contract, the Brazilian goalkeeper—who has long been a mainstay of Guardiola’s system—looks to be leaving the team, despite earlier statements that he wanted to stay. Reports from Turkey and England indicate that a deal is near, and Ederson will probably continue his career in Istanbul.
City’s attention has already turned to his replacement as this significant departure approaches. Diogo Costa of FC Porto is apparently the target of a €60 million deal from the Premier League winners. Long on City’s radar, the 25-year-old Portuguese international is currently at the top of their shortlist.
Costa has 36 caps for Portugal and is signed to Porto until 2027 with a €75 million release clause. Super-agent Jorge Mendes represents Costa. Guardiola’s needs are exactly met by his profile, and City wants to act quickly to stay ahead of the competition.
This possible transfer would continue City’s ambitious summer, during which they have already spent €150 million on Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, Sverre Nypan, and Rayan Aït-Nouri. Over €200 million was committed during a similarly ambitious winter window. Diogo Costa might be the next big piece in City’s changing puzzle, and the club’s Portuguese relations have grown since Hugo Viana took over as sporting director.
