Manchester City Makes Move For Benfica's Goalkeeper

In what is said to be a world record fee Benfica goalkeeper Ederson could be heading for Manchester City. It is understood he will arrive in Manchester on Monday for further talks and will have a medical on Tuesday.

His possible arrival at the Etihad Stadium casts further doubt over the prospects of City's England international keeper Joe Hart, who has been on loan at Torino. City had their problems with the goalkeeper position last season following the controversial decision to jettison Hart.

Claudio Bravo was signed for £17.1m from Barcelona last summer but came in for criticism before picking up an injury towards the end of the campaign, while Willy Caballero will leave when his contract expires this summer and Ederson is potentially set to challenge Bravo, having won a pair of League titles at Benfica and been called into the Brazil squad in March, although he is yet to be capped at senior level.
