However, if the 30-year old wants to stay put in Europe then there will certainly be a lot of suitors to snap up the Brazilian. 

While no decision has been made till now, Ederson will listen to proposals and then decide whether he wants to move or not. 

Manchester City and Pep Guardiola will definitely want to keep hold of Ederson, but he has a contract with the club till summer 2026, hence City could be tempted to cash in on their star player. 

Ederson joined at a time when Manchester City were going through a turbulent period as they were unable to find a reliable goalie in between the sticks. Their goalies in Claudio Bravo and Willy Cabarello weren't trusted upon in Pep Guardiola's system. Ederson with his fantastic distribution and quick reflexes soon became one of the best Goalkeepers in the world as Manchester City started their dominance in English Football.
