Guardiola Concedes Ederson's Man City Future In Doubt

Like Kevin De Bruyne, Ederson is the subject of interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad.

While Guardiola was emphatic in shutting down rumours of a De Bruyne exit, he has been uncertain about the future of his number one goalkeeper.

"I'd like him to stay but it depends on other clubs," Guardiola said after City's 4-3 friendly defeat to Celtic, with Ederson playing in the second half of that match.

"I don't know the situation, no contact in the last days. A question of training and being with us until the transfer window finishes and we see what happens.

"He's been the keeper for the team that has incredible success the last seven or eight years. 

"We have an incredible three keepers, especially the two who play regularly. A really important position in the team. Really good team [of keepers]. 

"We will see until the last day of the transfer window when anything can happen. Not just Ederson but many players."

Ederson joined Manchester City from Benfica in the summer of 2017 and has won among others six Premier League titles and one UEFA Champions League.
