Without a doubt, Ederson’s last week at Manchester City was one of the worst he’s ever had there.
He was taken off against his will at Tottenham because of an injury, which made people very angry on the sidelines. He then had to sit on the bench for a while to calm down. Then, City’s first choice goalkeeper had to watch as his backup, Stefan Ortega, made the save that kept the title in their hands. This earned him praise and questions about whether he should start on the last day.
It has been said that Ederson could leave Manchester City after a rough week, but the player himself is sure of his future plans.
A medical report showed that Ederson had broken his eye socket at Spurs, which ended the argument. He would not be able to play in either the final Premier League game or the FA Cup Final. He thought he still had something to offer, but he was told not to.
On social media, a man who doesn’t usually show feeling seemed sad for no reason. He posted a picture of two important stops he had made against Tottenham with the caption, “No one understands but me.” “See you soon.” If I’m not completely wrong, Ederson seemed to want some praise for his work during a week when everyone was talking about City’s No. 2.
It’s possible, but Chelsea has made it clear how important Ederson is, and Pep Guardiola went out of his way to say that in public last week. When asked about Ortega in a press conference, City’s manager said that Ederson was still the team’s best player and talked about how important he was to their Champions League win. Guardiola also made a big deal out of Ederson on the stage on Sunday as they waited to collect the Premier League title.
Of course, that might not be enough to persuade Ederson, and Ortega’s claim on Sunday that he hasn’t heard of any better deals than the one from City might not help either. If Ederson wants to leave and can make a good offer, it will be looked at, just like with any other player. The club would definitely make a lot of money from the sale since they paid £35 million for him in 2017.
If one of their goalkeepers left, City would have to find a substitute in the summer transfer window. This season has shown them again how important it is to have two great stoppers. Ederson, on the other hand, would be leaving the same job he has had for the seven years he has been at the club (playing forward).
