Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has been the subject of false transfer rumors linking him to clubs in Saudi Arabia this summer. Despite interest from Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, Manchester City rejected a £25 million proposal from Al-Nassr, leading the latter club to withdraw interest. Ederson’s wife has spoken out on social media, refuting claims of discontent over praise given to another goalkeeper last season.
Despite the ongoing rumors, Ederson and Manchester City are focused on the upcoming season, with the goalkeeper participating in pre-season matches in the United States. Ederson played in a friendly match against Celtic, replacing Stefan Ortega in a planned substitution and even wore the captain’s armband at one point. It is business as usual for Ederson as he continues to train and prepare for the new season, regardless of speculation about a potential move to Saudi Arabia.
Ederson remains committed to Manchester City and is likely to continue as the team’s first-team goalkeeper unless a deal with Saudi Arabia materializes. The goalkeeper is prioritizing his preparation for the upcoming season and is unfazed by off-the-field reports and rumors surrounding his future. As Manchester City aims for another successful season, Ederson will continue to focus on performing well for the club.
