Man City news: Stefan Borson suggests reason star duo could make big-money exits
Ederson and Kevin De Bruyne’s potential moves from Manchester City to Saudi Arabia are unlikely to be related to the profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
That is the view of former Man City financial advisor Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider the Premier League champions have one of the largest PSR surpluses out of all the top-flight clubs.
Reports have suggested Al-Nassr are prepared to offer Ederson up to £600,000 a week – three times his current salary at the Etihad.
It has also been reported De Bruyne has “verbally agreed” personal terms with Al-Ittihad ahead of his Man City contract expiring in June 2025.
The duo have been regular fixtures in Pep Guardiola’s side during his time at the Etihad, having combined to make 714 appearances for the club.
Man City stars could leave after Saudi offers on the table
Borson insisted the potential moves are more about Saudi Arabia looking to take the next step in the development of their league rather than Man City needing to sell two of their star players.
“I don’t think it’s PSR-related,” Borson told Football Insider.
“If you were to do the numbers based on the publicly available information, City have one of the largest PSR surpluses out of any club.
“I suspect it’s not PSR-related.
“For the players, I think it’s likely just to be the opportunity that they’ve got to earn very substantial amounts of money going to Saudi Arabia having done everything in England.
“I don’t think these are PSR-related.
“I think it’s more about what Saudi are looking to do in the next phase of the development of their league.”
