The Brazilian international, who has been a cornerstone of Pep Guardiola’s side since arriving from Benfica in 2017, has just under a year remaining on his current contract. His future has been the subject of mounting speculation, with Galatasaray previously tabling a €10 million bid — an offer swiftly rejected by City officials.
According to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, Fenerbahçe have now entered the race, submitting a proposal worth around €12 million in an attempt to outbid their fierce domestic rivals.
Manchester City are understood to be preparing for the possibility of Ederson’s departure. Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma has been heavily linked as a potential replacement, with sources indicating he would be the club’s immediate target should the Brazilian leave.
During his eight seasons at the Etihad Stadium, Ederson has amassed an impressive haul of silverware, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, one UEFA Champions League, one FIFA Club World Cup, and three Premier League Golden Glove awards. Renowned for his exceptional distribution and composure under pressure, he has been integral to City’s style of play, often acting as the starting point for their attacking moves.
With the transfer window in both England and Turkey closing imminently, the next 48–72 hours are expected to be decisive. While Galatasaray remain in the hunt, Fenerbahçe’s late intervention has added a dramatic twist to the saga. Whether Manchester City will sanction the sale of one of their most decorated players — and whether Ederson is ready to embark on a new chapter in Turkey — remains to be seen.
