Ederson Confirms Contentment at Manchester City While Remaining Uncertain About Future Amid Saudi Pro League Interest in New York

Ederson has confirmed that he’s content at Manchester City, but there’s still uncertainty about where he’ll be playing in the future.

The Brazilian goalkeeper has caught the eye of Al-Ittihad from the Saudi Pro League, though the two clubs haven’t been able to strike a deal.

Manchester City values Ederson at around £50 million, and manager Pep Guardiola has expressed a strong desire for him to stay at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep’s Praise

Ederson shared that hearing Pep Guardiola’s supportive words was quite gratifying. “There’s no definitive answer about my future yet,” he said.

“This is my eighth season with Pep, and we’ve shared many good moments, along with a few challenging ones.

Pep is a football genius and easy to work with, so it’s really nice to hear such support from him.”

Captaincy and Current Form

Recently, Ederson had the opportunity to wear the captain’s armband in City’s 3-2 loss against AC Milan during their U.S. tour. Despite the defeat, he’s focusing on staying positive and getting back into peak fitness. “I’m happy here, enjoying my time with the team, and staying calm.

Whatever happens, I leave it to fate,” Ederson added.

Team Updates

Guardiola also took note of Oscar Bobb’s impressive performance, especially his assist for Erling Haaland with some brilliant footwork.

As for Jack Grealish, who’s had a more cautious start to the pre-season, Guardiola remains optimistic. “Step by step,” he said. “It’s crucial for Jack to get minutes after the holidays.

He’s making progress and will continue to improve.”
