With Guardiola trying hard to keep, Ederson agreed to renew his contract with the club until 2028

Manchester City legendary goalkeeper Ederson has agreed to a new contract extension with the club. The new contract between the two parties will be renewed until 2028, and the salary will increase from the current weekly salary of £100,000 to the maximum salary of the Premier League. Ederson's existing contract will expire in 2025, after news that Ederson has decided to leave Manchester City and join the Saudi League to win Riyadh, but the deal was ultimately failed to be completed due to Guardiola's efforts to retain it.

In the summer of 2017, Manchester City spent 40 million euros to introduce Ederson from Benfica. In his eight seasons, he won three Premier League Golden Glove Awards. During this period, he played for Manchester City in 350 games, including 158 of which he achieved a clean sheet. He is one of the heroes of Manchester City's six Premier League championships and Champions League championships, and is also the most important part of Guardiola Manchester City. In the 2024-2025 season, Ederson was not only troubled by injuries, but his save ability was also questioned. As a goalkeeper with a goalkeeper, Ederson is definitely not as good as a defensive goalkeeper like Courtois, in terms of defense ability and coverage, Manchester City was almost broken through last season. The goalkeeper has a certain responsibility, but the main responsibility is that the midfield and defense are too exaggerated, which to a certain extent magnified the goalkeeper's defensive weaknesses. In Guardiola's tactical system, this goalkeeper is needed to participate in the offense. Such goalkeepers are hard to come by. It may be even harder to find someone like Ederson who can not only shoot the ball, but also directly give Haaland assists. Ederson's 31-year-old age is not a big deal for the goalkeeper. As the lineup is strengthened, the control of the midfield and backcourt will return to the right track, which will greatly alleviate the goalkeeper's defensive pressure. For Ederson, Guardiola still chooses to trust, and the three-year contract and maximum salary also demonstrates Manchester City's sincerity.
