Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has emphatically reaffirmed his commitment to the club, quashing persistent transfer speculation linking him with moves away from the Etihad Stadium.
Speaking to The Athletic, the Brazilian shot-stopper addressed the rumours head-on, expressing his contentment and ambition to continue his journey with Manchester City.
“My future is here,” Ederson stated firmly. “Some friends send me a lot of news, but 99% is fake. There’s a lot of fake news around my name. My head is staying at the club. It stays with Man City. It gives me everything to go back to the Premier League again and try to win the Champions League as well.”
The 31-year-old, who has been a cornerstone of City’s success under Pep Guardiola, has been linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia and other European giants in recent months. However, his comments underline a clear focus on Manchester City’s ongoing project, with the goalkeeper eyeing further domestic and European glory.

Since joining from Benfica in 2017, Ederson has redefined the role of a modern goalkeeper, blending exceptional shot-stopping with unparalleled distribution skills. His contributions have been pivotal to City’s dominance, including six Premier League titles, a Champions League triumph in 2023, and multiple domestic cups. With 258 Premier League appearances and 108 clean sheets to his name, Ederson remains one of the world’s elite goalkeepers.
The timing of his statement is significant, as Manchester City prepare for another grueling season upon completion of the Club World Cup. Ederson’s desire to “try to win the Champions League as well” signals his hunger for more silverware, particularly in Europe, where City have faced stiff competition in recent years.
