Goalkeeper Ederson of Manchester City seems to leave the Etihad Stadium before the end of the transfer window and Pep Guardiola has now spoken in his future with the club
Ederson has been extracted by Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's side took Wolverhampton Wanderers in their Premier League opener on Saturday evening, but the Brazilian was omitted outside the team, with his future increasingly to the air.
EDERSON – City's No.1 Since his arrival of Benfica in 2017 – was a surprising absentee when the summer signing James Trafford was mentioned in the starting XI, while the German goalkeeper Stefan Ortega took the reserve place on the bench. The future of Ederson is away from the Etihad Stadium. Turkish side Galatasaray has been associated with a movement for the goalkeeper and, according to Metro, have already made an opening bid worth £ 8.5 million.
But City wants to sell more. Ederson loves a new start and has given the green light to the switch. Pep Guardiola has already spoken about the future of Ederson and claimed that he wants to keep him for the near future.
On Friday asked if the Brazilian would travel to Wolverhampton, the City Boss replied: 'Apparently, yes.
“Ederson did not come to me and said he wanted to leave or he has an offer. All players here are our players and I want them. What will happen in three weeks [before the window closes]Nobody knows. “
Asked who his number 1 was for the season, he replied: “At the moment, Eddy [Ederson]. He is fit, yes. “
Guardiola added: “At the end, as always, the wishes of the players are above all, but then they have to find an agreement with the club. If they do not reach an agreement, the player will be here because the club spends money on those players.”

Asked if he had spoken with Ederson or Savinho – who is connected to Spurs – Guardiola replied: “No. If they want to leave, they will come to me. If they want to leave, they will knock on my door.”
However, the city is in conversation with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma about a move to Etihad after the Italian transferred through Luis Enrique and the club's hierarchy in the Parc des Princes. Donnarumma has refused to sign a new contract on lesser conditions in the French capital.
Ederson has been at Man City since 2017 and has been made in all competitions 372 performances. Since then he has won 18 trophies, including six Premier League titles.
