Saudi Pro League express Interest
Al Ittihad, a Saudi Pro League team, has expressed interest in Ederson, fueling rumors that he would leave.
Guardiola said of Ederson’s situation, “I don’t know; he has to see maybe now other options,” with a mixture of hope and worry. Naturally, I hope he stays. Depending on the clubs, yes. I haven’t heard from them in a few days, so I’m not sure how things stand. It’s a matter of receiving training, sticking with us through the transfer window, and seeing what happens.”
Guardiola acknowledged Ederson’s contributions over the previous seven years and his part in the team’s success, in spite of the rumors. Although he recognized the value of having a solid set of goalkeepers, he left the door open to potential alterations until the transfer market closed.
Guardiola also addressed speculations regarding Kevin De Bruyne’s possible exit. Also connected to Al Ittihad is De Bruyne, who is nearing the end of his contract. Before the friendly match against Celtic, Guardiola made it clear that “Kevin is not going.”
As Manchester City gets ready for the new season, the Ederson situation gives some concern to the team. The club will be keeping a careful eye on developments to see how things play out while the transfer market is still open.
