Man City 'Nuclear bomb class' Saudi offer arrives, first offer rejected...Wolkle has already agreed to transfer

Fabrizio Romano, a European transfer market expert, said on the 16th (Korea time) "Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr sent an offer to Manchester City to recruit Ederson. It is a proposal worth 30 million euros(about 45.2 billion won)," the report said.
He then said "Man City won't accept this amount. There is a big difference in the evaluation of the transfer fee. Man City want more than 50 million euros (about W75.5 billion) for Ederson transfer. Ederson has already agreed to move to Al Nasr. Now it's up to the club to decide."
Ederson moved from Benfica to Manchester City ahead of the 2017-2018 season. Since he was already in the Portuguese league, he has been the type of goalkeeper that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has no choice but to love. In Guardiola's soccer, the goalkeeper must have excellent footwork skills.

Ederson has never been pushed back for a season after jumping to the starting lineup immediately after moving to Manchester City. This is because Guardiola has the ability to complete football. It was Ederson with his pass skills that were not shaken even by pressure and kick power that allowed him to pass short, medium and long distances. However, there were occasional ups and downs in the ability to defend.
In the 2022-2023 season, when Manchester City made a treble, Ederson played a big role in the defense and was also selected as the world's best goalkeeper. However, Ederson seems to be attracted to money rather than career after achieving everything at Manchester City.
Manchester City is bound to be worried about the back if Ederson leaves. In preparation for the possibility of Ederson leaving, he re-signed Stefan Ortega, who led the EPL to win last season by blocking Son Heung-min's decisive shot. Ortega is also a good goalkeeper, but it is true that he does not have a definite belief because he has played only as a backup for two seasons since the 2021-2022 season. The weight definitely drops, too.

If Al-Nasr matches the level of transfer fee that Man City want, Man City has to decide whether to trust Ortega or invest big money to recruit a new goalkeeper.
