Man City to reignite interest in Ederson Moraes

Manchester City will prepare another move for Ederson Moraes this summer, according to reports.

Pep Guardiola went after the highly-rated Benfica goalkeeper after he arrived at the Etihad Stadium prior to this season but was unsuccessful with a £19million bid.

City instead landed Claudio Bravo from Barcelona but his suspect performances in the Premier League thus far have prompted Guardiola to axe the Chilean and look elsewhere.

It is believed that City will reignite their interest in 23-year-old Brazilian Moraes, however, they may have to deal with a £50m release clause.

The talented shot-stopper who is brilliant with his feet already has 105 senior appearances to his name, including 24 in total and five in the Champions League for the Portuguese Primeira Liga leaders this term.
