bloomshorts Manchester City’s Determination to Retain Ederson
Manchester City are showing a strong desire to keep Ederson, one of their most seasoned players, this summer, even as reports suggest a verbal agreement might pave the way for his exit. Having joined the club eight years ago, Ederson is now the second longest-serving player in Pep Guardiola’s squad. However, with his contract set to expire next June, the possibility of his departure looms large.
Galatasaray’s Interest and City’s Stance
Galatasaray has expressed interest in acquiring the 31-year-old goalkeeper for a reported fee of €3m (£2.6m), according to L’Equipe. Despite this, Manchester City has not received any formal approach from the Turkish club and remains adamant about keeping Ederson. The Brazilian has himself dismissed rumors of his exit as ‘99% fake news’, affirming his commitment to the club.
Ederson’s Legacy and Future at City
Ederson has been a cornerstone of Manchester City’s most successful era, contributing to all six Premier League titles under Guardiola and playing a pivotal role in the 2022/23 treble-winning campaign. While the past year may not have been his peak, his potential for future contributions remains undeniable. The club is keen on ensuring his stay, highlighting his importance to the team’s ambitions.
