A fresh revelation has emerged about Ederson Moraes’ future at the Etihad Stadium.
After Manchester City’s 4-3 defeat to Celtic, Pep Guardiola admitted that he is unsure if Ederson will stay at the club this summer.
The £35 million man came on at half-time to replace Stefan Ortega during City’s first friendly on their US pre-season tour.
Al-Nassr, who were widely reported to be targeting the Manchester City legend chose to sign Bento instead — as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
On Tuesday, it was claimed that even Al-Ittihad have given up in their pursuit for Ederson’s signature.
Where Ederson wants to go if Man City sanction his sale
It seems like the club legend is ready to bid farewell to the Etihad Stadium — considering even Guardiola publicly acknowledged him looking at potential clubs to sign for.
But with the Premier League set to begin in under a month, so far, one of the best goalkeepers in the world finds his future in an uncertain state.
Back in May, Fabrizio Romano first revealed that the City number one would fancy a move to Saudi Arabia.
But a report by The Athletic have now claimed that ideally, Ederson would like to join another European club.
However, the six-time Premier League winner is aware that no club in Europe will adhere to City’s fee demands while teams in the Saudi Pro League are at least likelier to.
Ederson still has the chance to choose Manchester City stay
Considering Pep Guardiola admitted that he wishes for Ederson to stay when addressing his future, the maverick goalkeeper should decide to do a 180 on his future and remain in East Manchester.
The former Benfica shotstopper is playing for arguably the greatest manager in the history of football, some of the best players in the world and remains an integral part of an elite team.
Furthermore, Ederson’s displays dictate that he still remains in the prime of his career.
With such factors being in place, the 30-year-old should avoid an exit — whether that is in favour of a move to another European club or in Saudi Arabia and continue to stay at the Etihad Stadium instead.
