Ederson has agreed personal terms to join Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray, who have now started negotiations with Manchester City over the goalkeeper's transfer fee. The Brazilian custodian is all set to exit Etihad Stadium after eight years, where he won multiple trophies including six Premier League titles and a Champions League crown.

WHAT HAPPENED?

A report emerged earlier this week that Galatasaray have approached the Cityzens with a €3 million (£2.6m/$3.5m) offer for goalkeeper Ederson as the Turkish giants are interested in luring the experienced Brazilian away from the Etihad. Now, journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu has reported that the Selecao star has agreed personal terms with Galatasaray and the Turkish champions have begun negotiations with English giants over the transfer fee.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ederson, who joined City from Benfica in 2017, is all set to leave the club after spending eight memorable years as Pep Guardiola begins reshaping his squad ahead of the upcoming 2025-26 campaign. The club have reportedly identified Ederson's replacement as they are eyeing a move for Burnley's James Trafford.

DID YOU KNOW?

While Galatasaray are now the front-runners to sign the 31-year-old goalkeeper, he also had lucrative offers from Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal and champions Al-Ittihad.

WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER CITY?

Guardiola's men, who competed in the Club World Cup in the U.S. this summer, are scheduled to play just one pre-season friendly against sister club Palermo FC on August 9 before they kick off the new season against Wolves seven days later. (GOAL)
