Man City are eyeing AC Milan’s Mike Maignan as the Premier League champions are ready to part ways with Ederson this summer.
The Brazilian has a contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2026 having been with the Manchester club for the past seven years. The 30-year-old has been successful with City and is believed to be ready for a new challenge ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
There is interest in the Brazil international from Saudi Arabia and according to Football Insider, Man City are willing to accept an offer worth more than £40m for the goalkeeper during the upcoming transfer window.
Ederson has been a key player for Pep Guardiola over the years and that has been no different this season as the 30-year-old has made 43 appearances for the Premier League champions, keeping 16 clean sheets.
However, Man City are now ready to part ways with their first-choice goalkeeper and are eyeing AC Milan’s Mike Mainan as a possible replacement.
Man City already have a replacement in mind for Ederson
According to French football expert Jonathan Johnson, AC Milan’s Mike Maignan is attracting interest from several European clubs, including Manchester City.
Writing in his CaughtOffside’s latest exclusive column The Daily Briefingthe reporter reports that PSG are also interested in Maignan and may consider selling their current goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, if they secure the Frenchman’s signature.
Man City could make one move for Ederson this summer as Milan eye a €50 million move for Maignan.
Johnson said: “AC Milan and France goalkeeper Mike Maignan is a player that many European clubs are interested in at the moment. There have been links with Manchester City about a possible replacement for Ederson, and my understanding is that PSG have reassessed his situation with a view to bringing him back in the future.
“I think a move for someone like Maignan would also be interesting because that would mean PSG would be tempted to consider an offer for Donnarumma, who could be an option to replace Ederson at Man City. He might not be a good fit for Pep Guardiola, but then there are questions about his future.”
