Al Nassr were interested in Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson for €30 million but their bid was rejected as the English giants value the Brazilian at €60 million. They wanted to replace Colombian keeper David Ospina who left the club following the expiry of his contract.

Bento has bagged two caps for the Brazil national side and served as backup to Liverpool’s Alisson in the latest Copa America tournament.
