Ederson is LEFT OUT of Man City squad to face Wolves after European side ‘made first bid’ to sign the goalkeeper

goalkeeper Ederson was left out of their season opener with Wolves amid an approach from Galatasaray.

City manager Pep Guardiola put the Brazilian’s absence down to illness.

‘He had stomach problems yesterday, he vomited and didn’t feel good,’ said Guardiola. ‘The doctors decided he should stay in Manchester.’

However, it is also understood Galatasaray have made an offer of around £8.6million for the 31-year-old who has been considering his future over the past year. 

City would want more to sell Ederson but, should he depart, they hold an interest in Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris St Germain. 

The Italy international is leaving the European champions after being told he is no longer first choice under coach Luis Enrique.

James Trafford, City’s £27m summer signing from Burnley, started for Guardiola’s side at Molineux with Stefan Ortega named on the bench.

Donnarumma has hit out at PSG after he was frozen out by Luis Enrique for seeking a move away, with new signing Lucas Chevalier taking over as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.

Commenting on the situation on social media, Donnarumma expressed his disappointment with the club.

He wrote: ‘Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success. I am disappointed and disheartened.’

Donnarumma wasn’t part of the PSG squad for their Super Cup victory against Tottenham. 

The goalkeeper reportedly earns around £200,000-a-week at the Ligue 1 side.

Donnarumma has made 161 appearances for PSG since joining the club from AC Milan back in 2021 on a free transfer.

Ederson has been a key part of City’s success since joining the club in 2017 and has made 372 appearances.

He has won four Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups, three French Super Cups and the Champions League while at the club.

Donnarumma has also enjoyed success with Italy having helped his nation be crowned European champions back in 2021.

During that time Ederson has won six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups and four League Cups.
