Man City looking for Ederson's replacement

Verbruggen is a notable name in the transfer market.

Ederson's performances this season have seen him receive criticism from many pundits and fans, with many questioning whether he is still capable of maintaining a regular place in Pep Guardiola's squad.

The Guardian revealed that Pep is ready to part ways with the Brazilian goalkeeper this summer, as the player has shown inconsistent performance recently. In addition, after unsuccessful negotiations with teams in Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window last year, Ederson is still the top target of clubs in the Middle East in the coming time.

Therefore, Manchester City are considering many targets to replace Ederson this summer. Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen of Brighton & Hove Albion is on the list of Man City's interests. Verbruggen is currently the number one choice in the goal of the Netherlands team, after rapidly rising at the "Seagulls" in recent times.

The goalkeeper is only 22 years old and meets Pep's criteria such as the ability to play with his feet and control the ball from home. To convince Brighton to transfer Verbruggen, Manchester City may need to pay a large fee.

However, the Dutchman would be an ideal addition to Manchester City, whose possession-based style of play is similar to Brighton's. Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier has also impressed in recent times and is on City's radar.

During the 2024/25 season, Chevalier kept 12 clean sheets and received praise for his excellent form in early Champions League matches.

However, recruiting a player outside the Premier League could bring many risks for Man City. In addition to Verbruggen and Chevalier, Unai Simon or Diogo Costa are also other targets of Man City in goal.
