Man City star Ederson has a “strong possibility” of joining a Saudi Pro League club in the upcoming summer transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.

The 31-year-old was a target for clubs in the Middle East last summer but remained at the Etihad Stadium into the 2024-25 campaign.

However, Ederson will be out of contract in June 2026 – meaning the off-season could be the last chance to cash in.

His contract situation gives Saudi clubs the opportunity to complete a marquee signing at a cheaper-than-usual price.

Football Insider revealed last month (7 February) that Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad have entered the race for Ederson’s signature.

He has made 28 appearances across all competitions this season with Man City struggling for form.

The Brazil international has conceded 43 goals in this outings and has kept seven clean sheets.

Stefan Ortega has stepped in for Ederson on a regular basis in recent seasons for cup competitions and during injury.

Ederson has won six Premier League titles and the Champions League since joining from Benfica in 2017.

He signed his last City contract extension in 2021.
