PSG has been named as the European club most likely to sign Manchester City goalkeeper, amid interest from Saudi clubs.

Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson could be at the heart of a major transfer story this summer, with the Manchester City star attracting serious attention from both Saudi clubs and a European heavyweight.

While teams such as Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli have already expressed interest, Paris Saint-Germain have now entered the race, making Ederson a priority target as they look to strengthen their squad.

Ederson has firmly established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world under Pep Guardiola’s leadership.

His skill with the ball at his feet and commanding presence in the box have made him an integral part of Manchester City's recent triumphs in both the Premier League and Champions League.

However, rumours surrounding his future have been swirling in recent weeks, with several clubs reportedly keen on securing his services.

PSG have thrown their hat in the ring to sign Ederson, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. With question marks lingering over the performances of their current goalkeepers, the Parisian club are reportedly seriously considering making an offer for the Brazilian shot-stopper.

On the other hand, Saudi Arabian clubs remain in the hunt for Ederson, as part of their ongoing strategy to lure global stars to their league.

Saudi football's growing influence on the international stage has increased competition for high-profile names, and Ederson is no exception.

However, PSG appears to be the frontrunner among European clubs vying for his signature at this moment, per the report.

As time goes on, more and more doubts arise about Gianluigi Donnarumma's future in Paris. Although the Italian seems comfortable in the French capital, and the club has given no indication of wanting to part ways with him, the goalkeeper is becoming less unanimously supported, at least among the Parisian fans.

His poor footwork has been costly on several occasions, despite being one of the best, if not the best in the world, when it comes to reflexes and shot-stopping. In any case, it’s too early to tell if there's any truth to these reports.
