Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is set to block the departure of one of his key players despite the huge financial package on offer.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly attempting to retain goalkeeper Ederson amidst intense speculation linking him to a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.
The Premier League champions are prepared to table a final contract extension offer to persuade Ederson to stay at the Etihad Stadium beyond the current transfer window.

According to The Sun, City will present a "take it or leave it" proposal to the Brazilian shot-stopper, hoping to convince him to reject a staggering £900,000-a-week deal from Al-Nassr.

While Manchester City acknowledges they cannot match the Saudi club's financial might, they are willing to offer a long-term contract with a substantial 75 percent increase on his current wages.
The possibility of Ederson's departure has sparked concern among City fans, given his instrumental role in the team's success since joining in 2017.
His impressive performances have earned him numerous accolades, including three Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and a Champions League winner's medal.
Manchester City's reluctance to lose Ederson is understandable, considering his exceptional goalkeeping skills and leadership qualities.
However, the allure of a significant pay rise and a new challenge in the Saudi Pro League may prove too enticing for the 29-year-old to resist.
