Man City plays big, "spending" 60 million euros for Rodri's successor
Man City are in decline with 4 consecutive losses, and Ederson, Atalanta's bright star, is the name Pep Guardiola is aiming for to save the situation.
Manchester City are facing a difficult period without key midfielder Rodri, leading to a series of four unforgettable defeats in all competitions. Under pressure to improve the midfield, Pep Guardiola has turned his attention to Atalanta's 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder Ederson.
According to Calciomercato, the Man City coach is very impressed with Ederson's outstanding performance in the past two seasons. This player is highly appreciated for his comprehensiveness and ability to control the tempo of the game, an element that Man City is seriously lacking.
Not only Man City, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have also expressed interest in the Atalanta star. However, "The Citizens" are currently leading the race thanks to Pep Guardiola's decisive approach and clear plan.
However, Atalanta do not want to part with their star player in the winter transfer window if they do not receive a convincing offer. The Serie A team has "fixed the price" at 60 million euros for any team that wants to own Ederson.
This move shows that Man City is willing to invest heavily to revive the team in difficult times. If the deal is completed, Ederson promises to become a strategic piece to help Man City consolidate its position in the Premier League and Europe.
The decision now depends on the negotiating ability of Man City's board, as well as whether they are willing to meet Atalanta's financial requirements to complete the deal in January.
