Transfer News: Galatasaray to sign Manchester City star after closing Osimhen deal

Galatasaray are making a move for Manchester City’s Ederson as their new goalkeeper following the completion of Victor Osimhen’s permanent transfer from Napoli.

According to reports, 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. This deal now paves the way for Galatasaray’s next major signing.

Turkish expert Yakup Çınar, speaking on the Yeni Açık YouTube channel (via Habersarikirmizi), 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 prefers to live with his family, so he doesn’t want to spend too much time in Saudi Arabia.

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.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are reportedly considering Burnley's James Trafford as Ederson's replacement.
