A news regarding Manchester City number one goalkeeper Ederson Moraes is spreading in the footballing world. Saudi league giants Al-Nassr are targeting Ederson to get the player on board and improve their overall squad. The Brazilian has also favored the move from his side as he is looking forward to leave Manchester City. However. Manchester City are asking for near 50 million Euros for the 30 years – old.
Despite of club’s heavy signing in past couple of years like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio mane and Laporte. It was expected from the club to react the same in the market by spending big money. However, this time around Al-Nassr are not taking actions the way they were expected to. The 50 million price tag from Manchester City is the issue of deal not going through. Al -Nassr reportedly wants them to lower their price tag.
Manchester City planning to part ways with Ederson?
According to recent reports, Manchester City is not currently engaged in any known negotiations regarding a new goalkeeper. However, there is a possibility that the current backup goalkeeper, Stephan Ortega, may be promoted to the number one position. Last season, there were rumors suggesting that Ortega might consider leaving the club.
Ortega wants a starting role at another club, as he felt his skills were worthy of a primary goalkeeping spot. The situation may become clearer following the potential departure of the Brazilian goalkeeper from Manchester City. This development could pave the way for Ortega to take on the lead goalkeeping duties, offering him the opportunity to showcase his abilities at the highest level.
The reports, although there are high chances that their backup goalkeeper Stephan Ortega might be promoted to number one position of the goalkeeper position. However last season there were rumors about the Spaniard leaving the club to get the priority as a goalkeeper at some other club as the player believes his qualities are too good to be a backup goalkeeper. Things might start looking better and clearer by the departure of the Brazilian goalkeeper.
AL-Nassr wants the Brazilian keeper
It has been reported that contrary to some assumptions, Al-Nassr’s primary goal is not to secure the services of Manchester City’s goalkeeper, Ederson. Instead, their focus is on Liverpool’s Alisson Becker. Alisson, who is currently under contract with Liverpool until 2027, has been identified as a key target by Al-Nassr. The club is optimistic about the potential deal, believing that any personal terms will not pose a significant obstacle in bringing Alisson to the team. This shift in focus underscores Al-Nassr’s strategic approach to strengthening their squad for the future.
Conclusion
Liverpool have the opportunity to retain their Brazilian player by engaging in a deal, as per recent reports. The new manager, Arne Slot, who was officially appointed by the club, faces the challenge of improving several areas within the squad. There have been indications that Slot will receive a substantial budget and strong support from the Liverpool owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), for the transfer market.
This is in contrast to the resources available to the previous manager, Jürgen Klopp. However, it seems that merely securing a generous budget might not be enough for Liverpool. The club recognizes the need to enhance every department of the squad to achieve the desired improvements and remain competitive at the highest level.
