The Premier League’s transfer team is planning a backup plan in case the Saudi Arabian teams decide to take Ederson.
Mike Maignan is a top target that could fill the void left by the Brazilian guard.
Man City is interested in Mike Maignan
Maignan is maintaining impressive form for AC Milan and will start for France at the upcoming Euro 2024.
Milan is aware that they may lose their precious gem, so they also keep an eye on Aaron Ramsdale – who is falling out of favor at Arsenal.
As for Ederson, he is the main nucleus that helps Man City win 4 consecutive Premier League titles, always the number 1 choice in Pep Guardiola’s wooden frame.
However, Ederson’s future was questioned when he overreacted when Guardiola pulled him off the field against Tottenham due to injury.
Ederson could leave Man City this summer
The contract between the 30-year-old goalkeeper and Man City is valid until June 2026. If the club receives attractive offers from teams with money in Saudi Arabia, they will consider liquidating Ederson.
In that case, Man City’s leadership will immediately send an offer of 50 million pounds to buy Mike Maignan instead.
