Manchester City are close to completing a deal for Benfica goalkeeper Ederson, sources have told ESPN FC.

The Brazilian played in Benfica's Portuguese Cup final triumph on Sunday and said after the match: "This was probably my last game for Benfica."

Ederson has been watched extensively by City scouts, and Pep Guardiola is ready to make him City's second signing of the summer following a £43 million deal for Monaco's Bernardo Silva on Friday.
