The Brazilian goalkeeper, long a cornerstone of Guardiola\u2019s system, looks set to leave the club with a year remaining on his contract, despite earlier claims that he wanted to stay. According to reports from England and Turkey, a deal is close, with Ederson likely to continue his career in Istanbul.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>With this key departure looming, City has quickly shifted focus to his replacement. The Premier League champions are reportedly working on a \u20ac60 million bid for FC Porto\u2019s Diogo Costa. The 25-year-old Portuguese international has long been on City\u2019s radar and now sits at the top of their shortlist.<\/p>\n<p>Costa, who is tied to Porto until 2027 with a \u20ac75 million release clause, is represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes and has 36 caps for Portugal. His profile aligns perfectly with Guardiola\u2019s requirements, and City hopes to move fast to avoid competition.<\/p>\n<p>This potential move continues an aggressive summer for City, who have already spent \u20ac150 million on Rayan Ai\u0308t-Nouri, Sverre Nypan, Rayan Cherki, and Tijjani Reijnders. It follows a similarly ambitious winter window that saw over \u20ac200 million invested. With Hugo Viana now serving as sporting director, the club\u2019s Portuguese ties have deepened, and Diogo Costa could be the next major piece in City\u2019s evolving puzzle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
