Manchester City Aware of Galatasaray Talks with Éderson – But No Official Bid Submitted Yet.
Manchester City are aware that Turkish giants Galatasaray have initiated discussions with Brazilian goalkeeper Éderson Moraes regarding personal terms, according to sources close to the club.
However, as of now, no formal offer has been submitted to the Premier League champions for the player’s transfer.
Reports from Turkey earlier this week indicated that Galatasaray have made Éderson one of their top targets this summer as they look to strengthen their squad for the UEFA Champions League campaign.
Talks between Galatasaray and Éderson’s representatives are said to be underway, focusing on contract length, salary package, and image rights.
Despite the emerging negotiations, Manchester City have not received any official communication or transfer bid from the Turkish side. Club officials confirmed to media on Sunday that there is “no formal proposal on the table” and the player remains under contract at the Etihad.
Ederson's Future in Question
Éderson, 31, has been a cornerstone of Pep Guardiola’s side since his arrival from Benfica in 2017. Known for his sweeping style and ball-playing ability, he has helped City to six Premier League titles, including four in a row from 2021 to 2025.
However, his future at the club has recently come under scrutiny due to rumours of interest from clubs abroad, with Saudi Pro League sides also previously linked with a move.
City are reportedly not actively looking to sell, but would consider serious offers in the right financial region. The club values Éderson highly and any potential suitor would likely need to present a substantial fee to tempt City into negotiations.
Galatasaray’s Ambition
Galatasaray, the reigning Süper Lig champions, are aiming to bolster their squad with experienced, high-profile players ahead of a competitive European season. The Istanbul club sees Éderson as a statement signing that could enhance their status on the continental stage.
