JAKARTA - Manchester City is monitoring a number of goalkeepers ahead of the summer transfer window, including Diogo Costa from FC Porto amid new uncertainties surrounding Ederson's future.

Ederson almost moved to the Saudi Arabian Pro League last summer. There is hope that the Brazilian will get more offers at the end of this season.

ESPN reports that Ederson is interested in exploring the possibility of moving to the Saudi Arabian Pro League this summer.

Manchester City has finally been looking for an option to replace the 31-year-old, who has been the main choice at the Etihad Stadium since arriving from Benfica in 2017.

Meanwhile, Portugal's number 1 Diogo Costa is one of the names on target.

The talent seekers also closely monitored Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, who was linked to Arsenal last summer. The 23-year-old has a release clause of 25 million euros.

In fact, Ederson has a contract at Manchester City until 2026, the club is willing to agree to his departure if the dowry is appropriate.

Substitute Stefan Ortega has also been under contract for another year and has been linked with a move to Bayer Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola felt motivated by Erling Haaland's return to training.

The striker has not played since a 2-1 win over Bournemouth in the FA Cup on March 30, 2025.

Haaland will likely not be ready for Wolverhampton Wanderers' visit to Etihad on Saturday, May 3, 2025, early morning WIB, but there is hope he can return to play before the end of the season.

Manchester City will also face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final on May 17 before the last Premier League match against Fulham on May 25, 2025.

Guardiola and his squad will leave for Florida ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup on 12 June 2025.

Their first match in the group stage against Morocco's Wydad AC will be held on 18 June 2025 in Philadelphia.
