Guardiola concedes Ederson could leave Man City

Pep Guardiola is unsure over the future of Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson.

City signed Ederson from Benfica in 2017, and the Brazil international has been integral to Guardiola’s success.

Ederson has played 250 Premier League matches for City, winning the title six times. He has kept 112 clean sheets, recording a save percentage of 68.17, while his excellent distribution has added another facet to the team’s play.

However, Ederson is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, and Guardiola conceded the 30-year-old might well leave.

“I’d like him to stay but it depends on other clubs,” Guardiola said after City’s 4-3 friendly defeat to Celtic, with Ederson playing in the second half of that match.

“I don’t know the situation. There have been no contacts in the last days.

“It’s a question of training, being with us until the transfer window finishes and we’ll see.”
