Two players at Manchester City have expressed their want to depart this summer, which has put a dampener on Pep Guardiola’s plans for the upcoming campaign.
Ederson, the goalkeeper, is still eager to leave the Etihad.
The Athletic claims that Ederson, a 2017 City signee, is drawn to lucrative offers from Saudi Pro League teams.
But it’s thought that his choice was greatly influenced by the Premier League matchup against Tottenham Hotspur last season.
The Brazilian was replaced by Stefan Ortega, who, in the last moments of the match, made a vital save against Son Heung-min, following his concussion.
The Brazilian goalkeeper was uneasy when it was suggested that Ederson might not have made the stop.
Ederson mysteriously wrote, “No one understands but me,” on social media after the game. I’ll see you shortly.
Ederson wants out, even though City is trying to convince him of his value.
Julian Alvarez is also looking for a team where he can be the starting striker on a regular basis.
Alvarez and his family reportedly “grew tired of the weather in England and would welcome a move to a country with a warmer climate,” according to the newspaper.
