According to Football Insider's sources, the Manchester City Club wants to keep Ederson instead of letting him leave during the summer transfer window.
The future of the Brazilian player at Etihad was questioned after Man City confirmed recruiting rookie James Trafford from Burnley. Along with that, Ederson was also contacted with a transfer to Türkiye giant Galatasaray, as well as receiving attention from the Saudi Pro League teams.
However, according to the latest source, the Etihad team is not intending to sell this goalkeeper this summer. Instead, they still trust and respect Ederson despite the appearance of James Trafford.

Manchester City wants to keep Ederson |
Even sources say that the 31 -year -old goalkeeper is likely to be the number one choice of Pep Guardiola once he maintains good physical strength, at least at the beginning of the season.
Of course, Ederson will still have to make efforts and try to compete with James Trafford – a face that has a record breaking season in the Championship last season, with 29 clean matches for Burnley FC. If continuing to maintain the current form, the player born in 2002 is fully competitive with Ederson to win a capacity in the starting lineup of 'The Citizens'.
Since joining Manchester City from Benfica in 2017, Ederson has become a symbol of the club's success, with 6 Premier League titles and 1 Champions League. At the age of 31, he is still the No. 1 choice in front of the wooden frame of 'Green Man'. In the 2024/25 season, Ederson played 40 matches, conceded 54 goals and had 13 clean sheets in all competitions.
Currently, this goalkeeper has only 1 year contract with Man City and England are the top target of Galatasaray. Manchester City initially requested a transfer fee of 12 million euros, but then agreed to a discount to about 9 million euros because she did not want to lose Ederson in the summer next year.
