Incoming Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola will make Benfica and Brazil keeper Ederson a priority in the summer transfer window to provide competition for England keeper Joe Hart. Ederson has undergone an impressive campaign in the Portuguese Superliga and will likely be part of Brazil’s U-23 squad for the Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro.

 

Ederson has attracted the interest of plenty of top European clubs with his performances this season, with Portuguese paper O Bola suggesting that Guardiola is amongst his admirers. Pep is thought to want an up and coming, young second choice goalie in place of current back up 34 year old Argentine Willy Caballero.

 

Ederson is thought to have caught Guardiola’s eye during Bayern Munich’s recent Champions League quarter-final against Benfica. The Lisbon club are thought to be prepared for Ederson’s exit, his buyout clause is reported to be in the region of €45m currently.
