City Star's Move to Al-Ittihad on the Verge of Failure

The transfer of one of Manchester City's stars to Al-Ittihad is on the verge of failure during this summer's transfer window. Al-Ittihad has been negotiating for weeks with Manchester City regarding the signing of Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson. Fabrizio Romano, a transfer expert, wrote on his account on the "X" network: "Al-Ittihad is close to signing Predrag Rajkovic from Real Mallorca as the new goalkeeper for the club." He added: "The deal is in advanced stages but has not yet been completed, while the negotiations with Manchester City regarding Ederson have completely stalled for a week." Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's coach, recently commented on Ederson's future, saying: "I truly hope that he stays with us... I want him to stay, and I can't imagine our success in recent seasons without him; he is an important character for us in the dressing room."
