5 most valuable young goalkeepers in the world

#3 Ederson – €12 million

His future could be in the Premier League

When Pep Guardiola calls you and asks you to join Manchester City in the summer and take over as the number one for the club, and when you have someone like Jorge Mendes as your agent handling all your needs, it’s a given that you’re no normal talent.

And in Ederson’s case, he really isn’t. The Brazilian has been an astute signing for SL Benfica who were looking to replace Jan Oblak, who went to Atletico Madrid, and in the 23-year-old, they have found someone who’s equally adept in goal as he is in marshalling his defence.

The Brazilian was linked with a move to Manchester City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in recent months and his performances for the club warrant every bit of attention. Out of the 36 games he’s played this season, Ederson has kept a staggering 22 clean sheets making him a menace for forwards to face.
