BREAKING: Man City add three Serial A goalkeepers on their wishlist as Ederson potential replacement amid Saudi Arabia interest
Interestingly, Manchester City have already begun laying the groundwork for life after Ederson, as speculation over the Brazilian goalkeeper’s future refuses to fade. With Saudi Arabian clubs reigniting their interest, City appear to be focusing their search for a potential replacement in Serie A, where three names have reportedly caught their attention: Zion Suzuki, Vanja Milinković-Savić, and Michele Di Gregorio.
Notably, Ederson’s situation first came under the spotlight during the last summer transfer window, when Saudi officials expressed a strong desire to bring the 31-year-old to the Middle East. While City stood firm on their £50 million valuation, no deal materialized.
However, with a rebuild expected in 2025, the possibility of Ederson departing has once again gained traction.
Significantly, Michele Di Gregorio is reported to be City’s top target, with preliminary discussions with Juventus officials taking place in December. Although Juventus remain reluctant to sell, it is understood that the Serie A side may reconsider if a compelling offer is presented.
Meanwhile, Parma’s Zion Suzuki and Torino’s Vanja Milinković-Savić remain firmly on City’s radar, with club scouts recently attending a match to assess their performances alongside that of midfielder Samuele Ricci.
Intriguingly, Stefan Ortega Moreno, Ederson’s deputy, has also found himself in the spotlight amid rumors of interest from German clubs. The 30-year-old has responded with confidence, stating in October, “I feel very comfortable.
At the moment, there’s little reason to leave.” His increased game time—36 appearances in two seasons—has positioned him as a credible in-house solution should City decide to promote from within.
Ultimately, whether City opt for a big-money signing or turn to Ortega, the club’s proactive approach in scouting talent highlights their readiness for any scenario.
Clearly, the future of their goalkeeping department is a priority, and as the summer window approaches, all eyes will be on City’s next move.
