Premier League champions Manchester City are ready to enter negotiations with their first-team goalkeeper, Ederson, in the coming months. Since his arrival in 2017, the Brazil international has played a crucial role in the success of Pep Guardiola’s team, revolutionizing the way goalkeeping is viewed in English football.
Ederson’s composure and ability to play the ball out from the back with his feet have greatly contributed to Manchester City’s style of play, making them one of the most captivating teams in possession. With over 320 appearances for the club in seven seasons, he has been instrumental in the team’s success, winning numerous titles.
Recognizing his importance, the City Football Academy is eager to secure Ederson’s future with the club by offering him a new contract. According to reports from HITC Football, talks are set to begin as the club looks to extend the legendary goalkeeper’s stay at the Etihad Stadium, with two years remaining on his current agreement.
The club is keen to avoid letting Ederson’s contract run down any further, with hopes of reaching an agreement before the start of the 2024/25 season in August. Since joining from Benfica for £35 million in 2017, Ederson has been the first-choice goalkeeper for Manchester City, making him the second most expensive goalkeeper at the time of his transfer.
While Ederson’s position as the first-choice goalkeeper is secure, the signing of Stefan Ortega Moreno in 2022 has provided additional competition for the Brazilian shot-stopper. Nonetheless, with his exceptional talent and experience, Ederson is unlikely to be displaced as the main goalkeeper for Manchester City anytime soon.
Overall, the club’s efforts to secure Ederson’s future demonstrates their commitment to retaining key players and maintaining their position as one of the leading teams in English football.
