Why would they just fold and give us what we want, they are in no rush to get it done are they.
It is a game of chicken, City seem relaxed to let him go if an offer arrives because we have Ortega and Saudi are relaxed because there is no other competition for the signing and every week that goes by Ederson might be getting itchy feet and could turn on City and go on strike etc which could drive down the price.
Everything we know so far has pointed to Ederson being content with staying, if he wasn't then he wouldn't be with the squad. Maybe City are working on a deal for someone and want that over the line before Ederson goes anywhere, could be anything.Because they are not Barcelona. Because he might change his mind, and stay, or even sign an extension for more money here. When have you known the Saudis to haggle and play chicken when they have a player convinced, they just do it and get that picture in a shirt up. I don't think this is as close as twitter makes out.

We haven't known them to care before but maybe now they are trying run themselves a bit more seriously, they bid several times for DIaby at Villa as an example to try and get a better deal.
Has anyone said its close, the very last post by Romano on this was that we are miles away?So as I was saying, this is not as close as claims would have you believe.
Haven't read about them getting a better deal for Diaby, seemed pretty quick to me. But will take your word for it.
Soon as he confirms to stay. He's nailed on to drop a clanger in the friendlies or community shield just wouldn't be City otherwise... lolEverything we know so far has pointed to Ederson being content with staying, if he wasn't then he wouldn't be with the squad.

Ederson will cost at least £40m if Al-Ittihad want to sign him from Manchester City, who are willing to let the keeper leave as long as their valuation is met
