Pep Guardiola could be without his first-choice goalkeeper next season. Cristiano Ronaldo's Saudi side Al-Nassr have made a big offer to Ederson Moraes and the Brazilian likes what he hears. The figures would be in the region of 60 million for two seasons.

Ederson Moraes' career is about to change. The Manchester City goalkeeper has been approached by Saudi Pro League clubs for several months, but now it looks like things are getting serious and Al-Nassr have swooped for him with a huge offer.
According to transfer journalist Cesar Luis Merlo, Cristiano Ronaldo's side have offered him a total of 60 million euros for a two-year contract. This is an almost unthinkable amount that the goalkeeper and his entourage would be studying, taking advantage of the fact that he could not be called up for the Copa America due to a fracture in his eye.
However, what remains is the most important thing, the negotiation with Manchester City. For now, the English team has not yet received any formal offer from Al-Nassr. The Saudis are waiting for the green light from the player to try to reach a good agreement with the Cityzens for his departure, although they will have to break the bank for him because the goalkeeper has a contract until 2026.
In this sense, Fabrizio Romano claims that Pep Guardiola is happy with Stefan Ortega and if Ederson leaves, the Spanish-German would be his first choice for the goalkeeper. That said, he will have to turn to the market. Their third goalkeeper is veteran Scott Carson, who is more of a sparring partner and assistant than a player, having not played a single minute for the last two seasons.
Meanwhile, if he joins Al-Nassr, Ederson would fill the void left by David Ospina after his return to Nacional in Colombia. There, he would share a dressing room with players such as Aymeric Laporte, Marcelo Brozovic, Anderson Talisca, Otavio and Sadio Mane and of course, Cristiano Ronaldo. The money and sharing a dressing room with the No 7 are a great temptation.
