- Pep Guardiola expressed uncertainty regarding Ederson’s future at Manchester City amid interest from the Saudi Pro League, stating, “It depends on other clubs”
- Guardiola chose backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega for a Champions League match, raising speculation about Ederson’s status despite previously naming him first-choice
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed uncertainty over the future of Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson at the club. Ederson has reportedly attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League, raising questions about his continued presence with the Premier League champions.
Despite stating at the end of last season that Ederson remained his first-choice goalkeeper, Guardiola chose backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. This decision has fueled speculation about Ederson’s future.
After Manchester City’s 4-3 friendly defeat to Celtic in North Carolina, Guardiola said, “I’d like him to stay but it depends on other clubs.”
Ederson came on at half-time during City’s loss to Celtic in Chapel Hill, marking the Premier League champions’ opening game of their pre-season tour.
