Manchester City pair Ederson and Kyle Walker.
According to reports, Manchester City have made it clear whether they would be willing to let Brazil international Ederson leave the club this summer.

Man City invested around £35m to sign Ederson from Portuguese giants Benfica and he has proven to be a bargain for the Premier League giants.

Ederson to leave in the summer?
The ball-playing goalkeeper has made over 300 appearances for Man City and has spent seven seasons as their number-one between the sticks.

The 30-year-old has made 43 appearances for Man City this season across all competitions but his contract is due to expire in 2026 and his long-term future is in doubt.

His backup at the Etihad – Stefan Ortega – has been phenomenal when he’s had to fill in for Ederson so Man City would have a ready-made replacement if the Brazil international moves elsewhere in the coming months.

Earlier this week, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed Ederson could leave this summer amid interest from the Saudi Pro League.

He said: “Ederson could leave Man City in the summer transfer window in case of good proposal, it’s a possibility. There’s already interest from Saudi Pro League clubs with Éderson considering possibilities at the end of the season. It will be up to the player.”

According to a report from 90min, Man City’s ‘stance’ on letting Ederson go is that they ‘would not stand in his way should he wish to pursue a new challenge’. Regarding their plans if Ederson were to leave, the report adds.

‘News of a potential move to Saudi Arabia broke at the beginning of the week, and 90min understands that the interest emanates from Jeddah, where Al Ittihad and Al Ahli – two clubs financed by PIF – could be in the market for a new goalkeeper. Liverpool’s Alisson Becker has also been linked.

‘Sources have confirmed that City are not actively looking to sell Ederson, who has two years remaining on his contract, but are open to possibility of him leaving under the right terms, which is a stance they have taken with many first-team players.

‘The Brazilian would likely earn a significant pay rise in the Middle East and City could expect to receive a healthy fee for their number one – money that the eight-time Premier League winners would likely invest into signing a new goalkeeper rather than elevating 31-year-old Stefan Ortega, whose own future at the Etihad Stadium has been called into question, to the role of starter.’

Manchester City are monitoring Vincent Kompany ahead of potentially offering a romantic return to the Etihad Stadium

HIGHLIGHTS
Manchester City have pinpointed Vincent Kompany as a potential replacement for Pep Guardiola despite being on the brink of taking over at Bayern Munich.
The Sky Blues will keep tabs on how the Belgian tactician adapts to fighting for regular silverware at the Allianz Arena if he leaves current employers Burnley.
Uncertainty over whether Pep Guardiola is aiming to remain at the helm for the long-term has led to Manchester City making contingency plans.
Manchester City have included Vincent Kompany on a shortlist of potential candidates who could succeed Pep Guardiola in the Etihad Stadium dugout despite the Burnley boss being on the brink of taking charge of Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

The Sky Blues made history when they became the first English side to win the top flight title in four consecutive seasons, thanks to overcoming West Ham United last weekend to end Arsenal’s hopes of being crowned the Premier League champions, and plans are being put in place for further success.

In the aftermath of retaining the crown, Manchester City chief Guardiola hinted that the 2024/25 campaign could be his final term in the hot-seat due to being prepared to enter the final 12 months of his contract, and sporting director Txiki Begiristain has started assessing managers who could be tasked with building on a memorable period for the club.

Premier League champions could offer Etihad Stadium return

Kompany could seal a romantic return to Manchester City later in his managerial career, according to GMS sources, as he has been added by the reigning Premier League champions’ key decision-makers to a list of candidates to keep an eye on ahead of Guardiola’s eventual departure.

It is understood that the Belgian tactician is on the cusp of embarking on a fresh challenge as he has reached a verbal agreement to take over as Bayern Munich’s new head coach, following Thomas Tuchel’s exit at the end of the season, and discussions have begun between his suitors and Burnley.

GMS sources have been informed that Manchester City are seeing Kompany’s opportunity to fight for regular silverware at the Allianz Arena as an ideal chance to monitor how he handles a pressurised job where he is expected to continually challenge for the Bundesliga title and Champions League glory.

Statistics correct as of 23/05/2024

The former central defender already has an affinity with the Sky Blues’ fanbase thanks to enjoying a fruitful spell at the Etihad Stadium during his playing career, making 360 appearances and lifting silverware on 12 occasions, resulting in him remaining on the hierarchy’s radar despite being unable to keep Burnley in the Premier League.

Although Kompany appears to be on his way to Germany, with Bayern looking to reach a compromise despite his current employers seeking a compensation package worth in the region of £17million, Manchester City will continue keeping tabs ahead of potentially offering a route back to familiar surroundings.

GMS sources have been told that it is unclear whether Guardiola will be open to penning a contract extension to remain in charge of Manchester City beyond the end of the fast-approaching 2024/25 campaign, resulting in key figures behind the scenes being forced to make contingency plans.

Although there is a general belief that the former Barcelona head coach will remain at the helm for one more year, allowing him to see out the remainder of his current agreement, the possibility of him committing his long-term future to the club as he looks to make further history at the Etihad Stadium cannot be ruled out at this stage.

Kompany, who has been described as ‘exceptional’ by Guardiola after playing under him during the latter stages of his career, is understood to be among the names on Manchester City’s radar as they have been made aware that they could be forced into seeking a fresh face in the dugout sooner rather than later.

But the 38-year-old will be under no illusions that replacing the current Sky Blues chief, who has been ranked as the best manager in the world by GMS, will be a difficult challenge after a period which has seen the club become a dominant force and winning trophies on a regular basis.

£300k-a-week Man City star who Pep called “irreplaceable” ready to leave.

One Manchester City star is now looking to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer despite Pep Guardiola’s admiration for him, according to a new report.

Man City exit rumours
Pep guided Man City to a historic fourth successive Premier League title this past weekend, with a 3-1 win over West Ham on the final day ensuring City would pip Arsenal to the trophy.

However, despite City sitting top of the pile in six of the past seven seasons, it could be a summer of change on the blue side of Manchester. There have been rumours on a number of star players potentially leaving the Etihad, with Kevin de Bruyne’s future unclear amid interest from Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, first-choice goalkeeper Ederson could also head for the exit door, with the Brazilian also having interest from the Saudi Pro League. Stefan Ortega’s future could also be decided in the next few weeks, with new contract talks stalling.

To make matters worse, an outfield star seemingly has his heart set on a move away over the coming months.

Bernardo Silva ready to leave Man City
According to Football Insider, Bernardo Silva has made a transfer decision and wants to leave the Etihad this summer. Paris Saint-Germain have made the midfielder a top target, with the £300,000-a-week star is now ready to quit after winning a sixth Premier League title in seven years.

Bernardo Silva celebrates scoring for Manchester City.
Silva, who arrived from AS Monaco, has been a key performer under Guardiola in recent years, but it looks as if his days in Manchester could now be numbered.

As can be seen, his stint with the Sky Blues has been extremely successful, with Guardiola praising the 29-year-old on a number of occasions.

“Everybody loves him and we want him. He’s really important for him to stay with us”, said Guardiola after Silva’s FA Cup double against Newcastle United in March.

Back in October, the City boss also called Silva irreplaceable: “I could stay here and talk for 10 minutes on what Bernardo Silva means for me and our team. He is a player that is beyond good in all departments – solidarity, intelligence, he understands everything.

“We are in love with him. The problem is he has no big cars, he dress maybe not for high style. He is humble and everybody loves him in the locker room. We were lucky not to lose him. He is irreplaceable. I know he is happy here.”

SHARETWEET
Manchester City first-team players were reportedly left disgruntled by Pep Guardiola’s change to the schedule at the City Football Academy earlier this year.

The Sky Blues clinched a record-breaking fourth consecutive Premier League title on Sunday afternoon, beating West Ham United 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium to secure their sixth title in seven years ahead of runners-up Arsenal.

Phil Foden’s first-half brace and a second-half strike from Rodri to restore the two-goal lead secured Manchester City’s third trophy of the campaign, following success in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, and ahead of Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup Final.

The Cityzens can win their fourth trophy of the season with a win over Manchester United this weekend, with Manchester City having the opportunity to become the first club to win back-to-back Premier League and FA Cup trophies.

Sunday’s Premier League title success was Guardiola’s 17th major trophy at the Etihad Stadium, with the Catalan having also won a landmark treble last season, lifting the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and Emirates FA Cup.

The 53-year-old has maintained high standards since arriving in east Manchester in 2016, but could leave the club at the end of next season, with Guardiola out of contract at the Etihad Stadium in 2025.

Manchester City are unbeaten in their past 35 matches across all competitions, and the Blues’ recent title success could have been impacted by Guardiola’s decision to make a major change to first-team training at the City Football Academy.

Paul Hirst has revealed that Guardiola ‘annoyed’ players by changing training times in January, with the manager standing by his decision despite unhappiness from some members of the squad.

Manchester City have played 58 matches so far this season; with 43 wins, 11 draws and four defeats during the 2023/24 campaign to date.

Guardiola’s side will play significantly more matches next season, with an increase in Champions League fixtures and the expanded FIFA Club World Cup in America.
