Ederson is still waiting to learn whether or not he will be leaving Manchester City this summer.
Recruitment expert Mick Brown told Football Insider Man City plan to accept an offer for Ederson following interest from Galatasaray in recent weeks.
The Brazil international was left out of Pep Guardiola’s squad for the opening-day victory over Wolves, while he returned to the bench for the defeat against Tottenham on Saturday (23 August).
James Trafford started in both of those games after rejoining the club for £27million from Burnley last month, with the deal potentially rising to £31million in add-ons.
Meanwhile, Man City are working on a deal for Gianluigi Donnarumma as he looks set to leave PSG this summer.
