Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has reportedly informed the Premier League champions that he wants to join Turkish giants Galatasaray, mirroring the approach Victor Osimhen took with Napoli before his recent transfer.

According to A Spor commentator Levent Tüzemen, who has been closely monitoring the situation, Ederson has explicitly expressed his preference for a move to Turkey rather than accepting offers from Saudi Arabia.

"Galatasaray is continuing its talks with Manchester City. Ederson, like Osimhen, has told Manchester City that he wants to play for Galatasaray," Tüzemen revealed.

The Brazilian goalkeeper's potential transfer comes at a strategic time for both clubs. Manchester City has already secured a replacement goalkeeper, potentially paving the way for Ederson's departure after his successful tenure with the English champions.

Tüzemen appears optimistic about the transfer materializing, stating: "If nothing goes wrong with Galatasaray, there is a 51 percent chance Ederson will join the team."

This development follows Galatasaray's recent high-profile acquisition of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli, signaling the Turkish club's ambitious transfer strategy to strengthen their squad with world-class talent.

If completed, Ederson's transfer would represent another significant coup for Galatasaray in the current transfer window, potentially transforming them into serious contenders both domestically and in European competitions.
