Al-Hilal has a high interest in Ederson, but the team expects a reduction in his 11 million Euro salary. It is stated that Ederson's agent, Jorge Mendes, has already started looking for a team in Saudi Arabia. Mendes will present the offers to the newly elected management and a course of action will be determined.

The 32-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson is in a dispute with Fenerbahçe, demanding 22 million euros for an early termination of his contract for the next two seasons. It is reported that Ederson has an alternative option, and the plan is said to involve the Saudi club Al-Hilal offering a contract with high financial compensation. The Brazilian international joined the Turkish club from Manchester City in September 2025 for a reported initial fee of €11 million.
