Manchester City to Confirm Shocking Exit This Summer

Despite the deal getting canceled at the last minute, Ederson has not denied moving to the Middle East in 2025. According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, the Saudi Pro League has once again shown interest in signing Manchester City’s goalkeeper. It is also reported that Pep Guardiola no longer recognizes him as his first-choice keeper and is ready to part ways with him.

In the 2024/25 season, Ederson made only 22 appearances for the club, the lowest number of appearances the Brazilian has had since joining in 2017. The Brazilian keeper has not even been seen on the team sheet in the club’s most important matches, such as the FA Cup semifinal clash against Nottingham Forest. Ederson doesn’t have a contract beyond 2026, and he currently earns £180k-a-week.

The Revamp At Manchester City

Whether Ederson leaves the club or not, it is safe to say that the revamp at Manchester City is well and truly underway. Kevin De Bruyne has already bid farewell to the club after nine successful years on the blue side of Manchester. Meanwhile, Kyle Walker is on loan at AC Milan, but Guardiola doesn’t fancy a future for the Englishman beyond this season.

Ilkay Gundogan, John Stones and Nathan Ake are also unsure about continuing at the club. Gundogan’s links are surprising because he had only joined the club at the start of this season, but his performances have not been as attractive as they were in his first stint at Manchester City. He returned to the club after spending one season in Barcelona.

With regards to Ederson, Stefan Ortega has officially taken over as the first-choice keeper at the club. The German has not skipped a beat since securing a title-deciding save against Son Heung-Min last season. The Citizens denied Arsenal and secured their fourth consecutive Premier League title.
