Ederson Addresses Speculation Amid Transfer Rumors to Saudi Arabia
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has released a statement on Instagram in response to a report in The Athletic on Thursday, addressing speculation surrounding his future at the club.
In his statement, Ederson emphasized his commitment to Manchester City, declaring that he is "fully focused on preparing for the new season." He also took the opportunity to address rumors of a rift with teammate Stefan Ortega, stating unequivocally that he has "never had any problems" with his fellow goalkeeper.
However, despite Ederson's statement, rumors of a potential transfer to Saudi Arabia continue to circulate. Reports suggest that Ederson has agreed to personal terms with Al-Nassr, but Manchester City rejected their initial offer. Al-Ittihad has since emerged as a new potential suitor, with talks set to follow between the clubs.
Ederson's statement appears to be an effort to reassure fans and the club that his attention is firmly fixed on the upcoming season, but the transfer rumors persist. Manchester City is reportedly open to letting Ederson leave, but they are holding out for a higher transfer fee, believed to be between €50 million and €60 million.
If Ederson were to depart, Stefan Ortega would likely take his place as first-choice goalkeeper, and Manchester City may consider signing a new goalkeeper, with Mike Maignan and Diogo Costa mentioned as potential targets.
