Ederson insists he’s happy at Man City but admits his future is still up in the air amid interest from Saudi Arabia
Ederson insisted he is still happy at Manchester City but admitted his future is not yet fully decided.
The goalkeeper is attracting interest from Al-Ittihad from the Saudi Pro League, but the team has been unable to reach an agreement with City.
City value Ederson at around £50million and manager Pep Guardiola has indicated he hopes ‘from the bottom of his heart’ the Brazilian stays at the Etihad Stadium.
“There is no definitive answer (on my future) yet,” Ederson said.
“It was very satisfying to hear Pep say that. It’s my eighth season with him now and I’m having a lot of good moments, but also a few bad ones.

The goalkeeper is wanted by Al-Ittihad, but Pep Guardiola wants the Brazilian to stay
“He’s a guy who’s easy to work with, he’s a football genius and everyone knows that. So it’s really good to hear that from him.”
The 30-year-old was handed the captain’s armband as City lost 3-2 to AC Milan in their second friendly of a four-match tour of the United States.
“I’m happy here, having a good time with my teammates,” he added. “I’m also enjoying getting my fitness back. I’m very calm, whatever happens is in God’s hands.”
Guardiola saw Oscar Bobb impress again, with the Norwegian providing an assist for Erling Haaland after some superb footwork.
Jack Grealish has had a more reserved start to the pre-season, but his manager believes the Englishman, who missed the European Championship, will make progress.
“Step by step, step by step,” Guardiola said. “It’s important that he gets minutes after the holidays. He’s doing his best and he’ll do his best.”
