Limited transfer operations
So far this season, Manchester City has not made any big moves in the transfer market. Apparently, the team coached by Pep Guardiola will not be one of the most active clubs this summer. However, there is a possibility that one or two signings could be completed in the coming days.
The influence of exits
Future hirings will be highly conditioned by the departures that occur in the workforce. One player who could leave the team soon is Ederson. The Brazilian goalkeeper is being linked to a possible transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Tempting offer for Ederson
From the Saudi league, a very attractive contract has been presented to the goalkeeper, who is very interested in accepting it. This is considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he wants Manchester City to facilitate his exit. Pep Guardiola, in this regard, mentioned: “Maybe now he has other options”, hinting that there is a real possibility that the Brazilian will leave.
The search for a new goalkeeper
If Ederson finally decides to leave City, Guardiola is clear that the club will have to look for a new reliable goalkeeper. In this context, his main candidate would be the Georgian goalkeeper Mamardashvili, who is currently standing out in LaLiga.
Mamardashvili, a rising talent
The goalkeeper has proven to be one of the best in his position for several seasons, and his potential is notable. During the Euro Cup, he was considered possibly the best goalkeeper of the tournament, which did not go unnoticed by the major European institutions. Guardiola believes that, if he improves his game with his feet, he could become the best in the world.
The situation with Valencia
In the Manchester offices, they are aware that Valencia is not opposed to selling Mamardashvili. In fact, the ‘che’ team already acquired his replacement before completing any transfer. At the beginning of summer, they secured the hiring of Dimitrievski, from Rayo Vallecano.
Estimated price for the transfer
The cost of the operation could be around 40 million euros. This figure was what was discussed before the European tournament, but now, after Mamardashvili’s outstanding performance, Valencia could hope to get a higher sum. Manchester City are not facing financial difficulties, so it will be interesting to see how much they will be willing to offer if Ederson’s departure goes through.
Mamardashvili’s wish
For his part, Mamardashvili would be excited by the possibility of joining Manchester City, a club considered among the best on the planet. The Georgian has the ambition to advance his career and believes that this summer is the ideal time to do so.
Initially, he had not ruled out staying at Valencia for another season, but if City come knocking, it would be difficult to turn down such an offer. The coming weeks, especially the potential departure of Ederson, will be decisive for Mamardashvili’s future.
