Turkish giants Galatasaray are pushing to complete a deal for Manchester City’s Ederson as their new goalkeeper following the completion of Victor Osimhen’s permanent transfer from Napoli, according to reporter Yakup Çınar.
Osimhen: Napoli set deadline for Galatasaray to sign Super Eagles star
The Turkish champions have finalized an agreement with Napoli for Osimhen’s transfer, settling on a €75 million payment structure—€40 million upfront and €35 million due within a year.
Speaking on the Yeni Açık YouTube channel (via habersarikirmizi), Çınar shared insights on the goalkeeper move:
“After the Osimhen transfer, I expect Galatasaray to announce the Ederson transfer as well.
“I most likely expect Ederson to be Galatasaray’s new goalkeeper. Gardi is conducting the talks with Ederson. There’s a €25 million offer for the player from Saudi Arabia.
“The Brazilian likes to live with his family, so he doesn’t want to go to Saudi Arabia too much. His initial expectation from Galatasaray was €15 million. It’s now down to €10 million.
“Galatasaray is trying to reduce this amount to around €7-8 million. They’re currently the top choice for goalkeeper transfers. Both Okan Buruk and President Dursun want this transfer to happen.”
Manchester City are reportedly lining up a move for Burnley’s James Trafford as a replacement.
