The situation is reversed for Ederson

Manchester City surprisingly want to keep Ederson, even though the Brazilian player only has one year left on his contract and has received interest from Galatasaray.

Pep Guardiola still sees Ederson as an important factor next season.

According to The Times , coach Pep Guardiola and the Manchester City board want Ederson to continue to stay with the Etihad team in the 2025/26 season. Previously, the Brazilian goalkeeper seemed to have no future at Manchester City.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper has just one year left on his contract at Man City, but Pep believes that if he leaves now, the club's defence will not be able to find a suitable replacement. Man City's board still value Ederson's experience and influence above short-term financial gain, even if they risk losing the player for nothing in the summer of 2026.

In the middle of this month, Galatasaray was said to have reached a personal agreement with Ederson, with a four-year contract worth €7 million per year. At that time, Galatasaray was also confident of getting the Manchester City goalkeeper for a fee of €9 million.

However, after many discussions with the board, coach Pep Guardiola believes that keeping Ederson for the 2025/26 season is necessary, even if Man City recruits a new goalkeeper.

According to A Bola , Manchester City have made a €60 million offer to Porto for Diogo Costa. However, the Premier League club believe that if the Portuguese goalkeeper arrives at the club, he will need time to adapt to English football, and Ederson will remain the team's first choice for the 2025/26 season.
