Manchester City will sign Ederson from Benfica for £34.9 million ($44.8 million).

Ederson is known for his footballing skills at keeper, which fits the mould of what Pep Guardiola seeks from the position.

Ederson’s fee would represent a world record for a goalkeeper, eclipsing the £32.6 million paid by Juventus to Parma for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001.
