It was in tune with the times, it is now official. Ederson leaves Manchester City. The English club has just announced the news: “Ederson leaves Manchester City after eight years rich in trophies at Etihad Stadium. The Brazilian goalkeeper is one of the most titled players in the history of the club, winning 18 major titles under Pep Guardiola. This record includes six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, three Community Shields and our very first successes in the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and in the FIFA club World Cup. Indeed, his six champion titles make him the most decorated goalkeeper of the first League era of English football. Now 31 years old, he left City to join the Turkish club in Fenerbahçe, subject to international authorization. No goalkeeper has ever kept as many clean sheets in the Premier League for City as the Brazilian, with his 122 achievements in 276 league appearances. ”

Ederson then farewell to the Mancunian team. “I would first like to thank him (Pep Guardiola, Editor's note), as well as the manager of the guards Xabier Mancisidor, for having made me the best possible goalkeeper and for having learned so much about the game. I would also like to thank my teammates. Our desire to win each match was a pleasure for me and it allowed me to savor every day spent on the training field or in the locker room with each of you. Finally, thank you to the fans. Thank you for allowing me to feel at home in a city so far from my home and for having supported me throughout this incredible period for me and my family. I arrived in Manchester eight years ago full of hope, but I could not have predicted such a beautiful moment together. Playing for City was one of the most precious moments in my life and I will always be a supporter of this special club. I go with my wife and children, but I leave a big family here, the Cityzens. ” It is in Türkiye that he will therefore continue his career, he who will be replaced by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
