In his final year of contract, Manchester City custodian Ederson has denied rumours of his exit. Ederson joined City from Benfica for 40 million euros ($46.90 million) in 2017 and has been the club’s first choice custodian.
The Brazilian was rumoured for the Saudi Pro League. Ederson claimed his head is with City despite reports of a “unusual proposal” in October.
“My head is here. Stays with City. To return to the Premier League and win the Champions League excites me. Ederson claimed he was thinking about the club.
Ederson, who has one year left at the Etihad, said all the future rumours were false.
“My future is here,” he remarked.
Many friends email me news, but 99% is phoney. I get you, media. Your social media likes or rants depend on the news. Understand, but my name is surrounded by bogus news.” Three-time Premier League Golden Glove winner for most clean sheets, the 31-year-old has won six English league crowns and a Champions League with City.
At the Club World Cup, Pep Guardiola has Ederson, Stefan Ortega, and Marcus Bettinelli as goalkeepers. Ortega has 12 months left on his contract, while Bettinelli came from Chelsea on a one-year deal. Ortega has been linked to Bundesliga but is unsure of his future.
