Chelsea needs to treat the “ideal” Manchester City move as a gift. The perfect welcome gift from Enzo Maresca.

Ederson from Manchester City is a player Chelsea has to sign this summer, no matter what it takes. A move to Saudi Arabia has recently been speculated for the 30-year-old goalie, who has won his sixth Premier League championship.

This season, Ederson made 33 appearances in the English premier league while maintaining 13 clean sheets. His contract at the Etihad Stadium expires in 2026. He was a key member of Pep Guardiola’s team and had the second-best defensive record in the division.

Since leaving Benfica to join Manchester City in 2017, the Brazil international has taken great satisfaction in being one of the best shot-blockers in the world. Throughout his career, Ederson has made many game-winning saves, but he has also demonstrated remarkable footwork.

Having a friendly banter with one of the greatest ball-player goalkeepers of all time, Manuel Neuer, a Brazilian, may be moving this summer. Al Ittihad is one of the few teams that has expressed interest in Ederson, according to ESPN.

But according to the report, he needs to submit a transfer request in order to depart the Etihad Stadium.ESPN further reports that Manchester City is not actively seeking to sign a replacement for the Brazilian and will only entertain bids should he express his desire to depart.

Unlike numerous Saudi Pro League teams, Chelsea has not been reported to be interested in Ederson; yet, the Blues should give bringing him to Stamford Bridge this summer significant consideration. The Manchester City star would be the ideal welcome gift, as Enzo Maresca is anticipated to be hired in the next few days.

In a May 2021 speech, Guardiola referred to Ederson as the world’s top goalkeeper. “We cannot have a better goalkeeper than Eddie,” the Spaniard remarked. He is ideal for our style of play. He has a huge effect on the team.

“It’s amazing how calm he is and how he handles both good and terrible times. He has an amazing work ethic. With Xabier Mancisidor, he has the best goalie trainer in the world. The best one is him.

Together with Richard Wright, he and Eddie have done an amazing job working with Zack Steffen, Scott Carson, Eddie, and the young lads we have. We are fortunate.”

Maresca would have a significant advantage in starting a successful project at Stamford Bridge if he signed Ederson.According to football.london, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley left for Spain on Tuesday in order to finalize an agreement for the head coach of Leicester City to move to west London.

The Chelsea sporting directors are thought to have been greatly impressed with Maresca’s initial self-presentation. If all goes according to plan, the Italian will sign a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge, according to football.london.

Maresca should be well-prepared for preseason if Chelsea is lucky and he can start working at Cobham by the end of this week. If all goes according to plan, he might make his West Londoners dugout debut on July 24 against Wrexham in the United States.
