Player Agreement Already in Place
While discussions between the two clubs have yet to produce an agreement, reports confirm that Ederson has reached an understanding with Galatasaray regarding his personal contract. The player is reportedly eager to make the switch to Istanbul and has indicated he is prepared to undergo a medical assessment in anticipation of the move.
Ederson Absent from Opening Fixture
The experienced shot-stopper was notably absent from Manchester City’s matchday squad in their Premier League opener, where the reigning champions triumphed with a 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton. The exclusion comes amid mounting speculation surrounding Ederson’s potential exit from the Etihad Stadium.
