‘My Future is here’: Ederson of Manchester City rejects exit rumors such as fake news

The goalkeeper Ederson, goalkeeper of Manchester City, has said that all reports on his approaching departure from the club are fake news in the close season when he entered the last year of his contract.

Ederson has been the number one in the city since he arrived at the Benfica club in 2017 for 40 million euros (USD 46.90 million).

The 31-year-old has won six Premier League titles and the Champions League with City, while he also claimed the Premier League Golden Glove three times for the most clean sheets.

The Brazilian was heavily connected to a move to the Saudi -Pro League and stated that he had received an «unusual proposal» in October, but said at the World Cup that his head is with the city.

«No, my future is here,» Ederson told reporters. “Some friends send me a lot of news, but 99% are fake news. I understand you (media), you need the news to place a like on social media or whistle for the news.

«I understand, but there is many fake news around my name. My head is here, it stays with the city. It gives me everything to go back to the Premier League and also win the Champions League. My mind stays in the club.»

Stadsbaas Pep Guardiola said he knew nothing about Ederson’s contract. The keeper will leave next year as a free agent if the club does not extend his contract.

Guardiola said: “What I can say, I am so happy and happy with what I see in the training sessions and delight that Eddie is still with us.

«We cannot define what we have done in this incredible, spectacular decade without him. His contribution has been huge in many, many aspects and I am really satisfied.»
