The Brazilian and Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes has been linked up to Al-Nassr after spending time with Man City for around eight years. His performance as a goalkeeper for Man City is very underrated, as his chemistry with the Man City defenders is very understandable.
His incredible performance for the club has made him an impactful player in his tenure for Man City. His calmness in every tough and hectic situation has made him a more reliable player in the City squad. Not only he’s a first-choice keeper for City, but also he has won 3 golden gloves in the Premier League.
However, he is linked with the Saudi Arabia club who are trying to sign him as a first-choice goalkeeper to prevent the damage they have caused on multiple occasions against Al Hilal at the finals.
Ederson’s Enormous Achievements
The 30-year-old has secured almost every trophy possible. Coming from Benfica in 2017, he made his electric appearance as the main replacement for Joe Hart. Ederson debuted against Brighton with a splendid clean sheet with a 2-0 victory. Apart from that his consistency and high-performing attitude have kept him in the team.
His quick reflexes earned him the spot as the main goalkeeper. Throughout his Man City career, he has made 332 appearances, six Premier Leagues, four EFL, two FA Cups, one Champions League, one Super Cup, and one FIFA Club World Cup. Not only that, Ederson has also achieved three Golden Gloves for his brilliance in keeping a clean sheet.
His main luck factor also depicts how he uses his defenders in the right position to cut off the attack of the opposing team. Also, using that defence lineup as his main strength to keep up the good work with his leadership ability. The goalies’ stretchy saves are also a main aspect of how he uses that skill in a critical situation.
However, there have been many arguments among the rival fans that Ederson is moderate and lucky because of the defense. However, the reason also identifies how he leads the defense in the right way, so even if he concedes the ball, there might be less threat to his team.
What Happens if the Man City Keeper Leaves?
However, the bid from Al-Nassr to Manchester City for 30 million has been rejected, as they wait for the team to rethink accepting a new deal of signing Ederson for 50 million. If the showstopper agrees to sign for the Saudi Arabian club, he will replace the Colombian veteran goalkeeper David Ospina.
He will also join the big names in the club like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Otavio, and his former teammate Aymeric Laporte. He will strengthen the club’s morale and put their European experience in the league. However, after his departure, Man City will put another Brazilian goalkeeper Stefan Ortega into play.
The current situation relies on the fact that Man City is looking forward to handing out the new deal for Ederson for his contract extension. There might be an indication that the Brazilian goalkeeper is eager to move to Al-Nassr, which might make City play Stefan Ortega.
Ortega had eight clean sheets in 20 appearances which covered the part of Ederson while he was out injured. He was also handed a two-year contract extension which he agreed to as he will be part of the Man City squad until 2026.
