Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola conceded the future of goalkeeper Ederson was out of his hands amid rumours of a move to Saudi Arabia.

Al-Ittihad have been widely credited with having an interest in the Brazil international, who has been at City for seven years and been an instrumental figure in six Premier League triumphs as well as the Champions League success in 2023.

Ederson came on at half-time during City’s first pre-season game in North Carolina last night – a 4-3 defeat to Scottish champions Celtic – after which Guardiola admitted he’s not sure if the 30-year-old will still be at the club come the start of the season.

He said: “He has to see maybe other options. Of course, I’d like him to stay but it depends on other clubs.

“I don’t know the situation. There have been no contacts in the last days. It’s a question of training, being with us until the transfer window finishes and we’ll see.

“We have an incredible three keepers, especially the two that play regularly. It’s a really important position. What we have is perfect but until the last day of the transfer window anything can happen.”

Losing a player of that importance would surely mean Guardiola dips into the transfer market to sign another goalkeeper, although not necessarily a number one as Stefan Ortega impressed when given a chance last season.
