Manchester City came close to losing one of its captains during this summer transfer window.
Long-serving Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson could have left the Eastlands this summer. Indeed, the Brazilian goalkeeper, under contract until June 2026, was announced to be close to Al-Nassr. However, the negotiations broke down as Saudi leaders failed to reach an agreement with their City counterparts. The reason? The financial demands of the English champions, considered too high by the Riyadh club.
This outcome finally satisfied Pep Guardiola, relieved to be able to keep his starting goalkeeper. At a press conference, the Spanish coach spoke about the discussions around Ederson, expressing his concern about the possible loss of the one who has kept the Skyblues cages for seven seasons.
“You never know what happens”
“We didn’t want Ederson to leave this summersaid Guardiola. There was no real offer… Well, they made an offer but the goalkeeper of the team that won four Premier Leagues in a row came at a price. Otherwise he can’t leave, and that’s what happened. »
“What if I was worried? Of course ! He’s an important figure on our team…we’re lucky to have him. I hope he’s happy. We always prepare, we never know what happens, if the players want to leave or not”he added.
