Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his opinion on the imminent signing of Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson by his Saudi club. During a recent internal interview with the Portuguese national team in Germany, Ronaldo expressed his enthusiasm about Ederson’s possible arrival at Al-Nassr.
“Ederson is a world-class goalkeeper and his arrival at Al-Nassr would be a great addition to the team. I am very excited about the prospect of playing alongside him,” said Ronaldo. “His experience and quality will certainly strengthen our team and help raise the level of football in the Saudi Pro League.”
According to information from Gianluigi Longari, the Brazilian goalkeeper has already agreed personal terms with Al-Nassr, and negotiations with Manchester City are ongoing. This possible move could mark the end of Ederson’s brilliant stint in the Premier League, opening a new chapter in the Saudi Pro League. The proposal is for a two-year contract, worth a staggering €60m (£51m/$65m).
The Saudi Pro League has been making headlines with its aggressive search for top talent from Europe. Ronaldo’s move to Al-Nassr was a significant milestone, and the league continues to attract elite players to its ranks. Ederson’s potential transfer is part of this wider strategy to increase the league’s competitiveness and global appeal. The goalkeeper’s arrival would also help Al-Nassr replace David Ospina, who left the club after his contract expired.
