Manchester City officials have initiated talks for a potential goalkeeper transfer ahead of the summer rebuild. Ederson's recurring injury concerns have raised questions about the team's goalkeeping situation, leading to discussions with Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin, valued at around €40 million. The 23-year-old has attracted City's interest following strong performances for both club and country.
The pursuit of a new goalkeeper signals City's proactive approach to bolstering the squad, with a reported initial offer of €25 million on the table. The transfer strategy is overseen by new sporting director Hugo Viana, set to take over from Txiki Begiristain. The focus on goalkeeping reinforcements follows a season marked by fitness challenges for Ederson and opportunities for backup Stefan Ortega Moreno to showcase his abilities, potentially reshaping the team's defensive lineup for the upcoming season.
