Barcelona prepares for Rashford's debut, as Galatasaray proposes a bid for Ederson.
Galatasaray have shown interest in Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson, as part of their plans to strengthen their squad ahead of the Champions League campaign. The Turkish club has placed Ederson on a shortlist alongside Yann Sommer of Inter Milan and Diogo Costa of FC Porto [1].
An official bid has been submitted by Galatasaray, reportedly worth around £8.7 million. However, Manchester City is seeking a higher transfer fee, with the club valuing Ederson between £13 million and £15 million [2][3].
Mick Brown, a recruitment expert, has suggested that Manchester City might accept an offer for Ederson following interest from Galatasaray [2]. Meetings have taken place via intermediaries since early August, with the same intermediary involved in the Victor Osimhen transfer facilitating discussions for Ederson [4].
If Ederson were to leave, Manchester City has expressed interest in Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as a potential replacement. PSG is asking for a fee between £25 million and £35 million [1].
Ederson's current status at Manchester City is uncertain, with James Trafford starting in some games instead. This suggests a possible change in Ederson's role at the club [2].
In other transfer news, Marcus Rashford has been loaned from Manchester United to Barcelona. Rashford has been officially registered with La Liga, and Barcelona will cover his full salary package worth €14 million. The loan agreement includes a €30 million buyout clause [5]. Rashford has participated in four pre-season matches for Barcelona, scoring once and providing an assist. His anticipated La Liga debut will be on August 16 against Mallorca [6].
Additionally, Joan García has also been registered with La Liga.
