Ederson happy at Man City but nothing decided in regards to his future

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson admitted that nothing is decided in regards to his future, and that whatever happens is in “the hands of god.”

The Brazilian has been consistently linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League this summer, and  Al-Ittihad are currently showing the most interest in his services.

Ederson captained City and played 79 minutes on Saturday against AC Milan as they lost 3-2 in New York to suffer their second consecutive pre-season defeat.

Ederson hasn’t decided his future

The 30-year-old arrived at the Etihad from Portuguese side Benfica in 2017, and has been a key part of City’s success under Pep Guardiola.

However, the Brazil international has been strongly linked with a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, with a move to Al-Nassr collapsing despite agreeing personal terms.

Al-Ittihad are trying to sign the former Benfica man, but Fabrizio Romano has described a deal as difficult, with City thought to want €50m-€60m for the shot stopper.

The Athletic reported earlier this week that Ederson had been affected by the praise Stefan Ortega had received after the German filled in for him whilst he was injured.

Ederson released a statement on Instagram describing the claims as totally false, but Ortega is certainly pushing him for the number one spot and has been rewarded with a new contract at the Etihad.

Guardiola had stated before the game how he would love the Brazilian to stay at the club, and Ederson has spoken on his future saying he’s happy at City , but nothing has been decided.

“I am happy at Manchester City, comfortable with my teammates, I am enjoying it, too,” he said.

“I’m recovering my physical condition, so I’m calm, whatever happens is in the hands of God, he knows the right path and I’ll be happy with what he gives me.

“There’s no definition [on his City future]. Hearing this from Pep [that he wants him to stay] is gratifying.

“Eight seasons with him, many good moments, bad moments. Easy to work with, a football genius, hearing it from him is nice.”

Next up for Ederson and his City team-mates is a game against Guardiola’s former side Barcelona in Florida as preparations for the new season continue to ramp up.
