Manchester City agree £35m fee for Ederson Moraes

Premier League giants Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign the Benfica keeper Ederson.

Pep Guardiola signed Claudio Bravo last summer but the former Barcelona keeper failed to live up to the expectations. City struggled without a top class keeper this season and have decided to address the issue right away.

The 23 year old Benfica keeper impressed in the Liga Sagres during the 2016/17 season and is expected to be Guardiola’s first choice keeper next season.

Benfica have confirmed the agreement with Manchester City. The Portuguese outfit have also revealed that half of the fee will be paid to third parties.
