Manchester City has set its sights on Ederson, a midfielder from Atalanta, as the main candidate to cover the sensitive absence of Rodri, who will be out for the remainder of the 2024/25 season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Rodri's situation, one of the most important players in Pep Guardiola's scheme, has forced the club to assess options to reinforce the midfield, and Ederson seems to be the priority on the list of potential signings.

Rodri's injury, suffered in the recent Premier League match against Arsenal, left City in a delicate position. Although the club has alternatives within the squad, the prolonged absence of the Spanish international has led the coaching staff to explore the market to find a replacement who can maintain a high level of performance in midfield. In this regard, the 25-year-old Ederson has been identified as the ideal player to take on this challenge, thanks to his outstanding performance in Serie A and his significant role in the Europa League with Atalanta.

Pep Guardiola wants Ederson at Manchester City

Manchester City scouts have closely monitored the Brazilian in recent weeks, and the interest of the English club has not gone unnoticed. Ederson, since his arrival in the Italian league, has shown steady growth, establishing himself as a key piece in Gian Piero Gasperini's team. His ability to distribute the ball, regain possession, and his physical presence in midfield have made him a coveted midfielder by several European clubs.

Manchester City is determined to secure a quality reinforcement, but signing Ederson will not be easy. The midfielder is under contract with Atalanta until the summer of 2027, and the Italian club is in no rush to let him go, especially after selling Teun Koopmeiners to Juventus during the last summer transfer window. The Bergamo side will not want to lose another key figure in the midst of the current campaign.
