Manchester City’s first-choice goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes, has firmly denied widespread speculation linking him with a move away from the Premier League champions this summer, labeling the reports as “fake news.” The Brazilian international, who joined Manchester City from Benfica in 2017 for €40 million, is entering the final year of his contract but remains committed to continuing his decorated spell under Pep Guardiola. Rumours in recent weeks suggested that the 31-year-old shot-stopper was being targeted by clubs in Saudi Arabia, potentially lured by the growing football investment in the Gulf state.

I understand you guys [media] need content to generate clicks on social media or stir reactions, but there’s a lot of fake news around my name. My head is here — it stays with City.” Since his arrival, Ederson has been a cornerstone of Manchester City’s domestic and European dominance, securing six Premier League titles, five EFL Cups, two FA Cups, and the club’s first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy. Despite the uncertainty that often surrounds players nearing the end of their contracts, Ederson’s statement puts to rest growing speculation about his future — at least for now — as Manchester City prepare for another demanding season across multiple competitions.
