Galatasaray Submit €3 Million Opening Bid for Manchester City’s Ederson

Manchester City have reportedly received an opening offer of €3 million from Turkish champions Galatasaray for long-serving goalkeeper Ederson, according to L’Équipe.

The Brazil international, whose contract runs until 2026, has been the subject of increasing transfer speculation this summer as City assess long-term plans for their goalkeeping department. While City are not actively pushing Ederson out, they have expressed a willingness to entertain offers should the right opportunity arise.

Galatasaray’s proposal falls well short of other valuations reported across Europe, which estimate Ederson’s price between €9M and €15M. Despite the low figure, it is expected that this bid is merely an opening move, with the Istanbul-based side likely to return with improved terms.

Sources close to the situation suggest that Ederson would consider lowering his salary demands to facilitate a move, and that Galatasaray remain confident their sporting project and Champions League participation can attract the Brazilian shot-stopper.

Ederson has made more than 370 appearances for Manchester City, winning every domestic title and the UEFA Champions League during a decorated seven-year spell. His exit would trigger a significant transition, with Stefan Ortega also considering options and potential replacements including Diogo Costa and Marc-André ter Stegen reportedly under evaluation.

 Quick Facts

• Bid Amount: €3 million
• Contract Length Remaining: Until 2026
• Appearances for City: Over 370
• Potential Replacements: Diogo Costa, Marc-André ter Stegen

 Conclusion:

Galatasaray’s bid marks the first formal move for Ederson this summer. While it’s unlikely to be accepted at its current valuation, it opens the door for further negotiations and potentially signals the start of the end for a key figure in Manchester City’s golden era.
