Ederson has spoken on his Manchester City future amid speculation he could make a blockbuster move to Saudi Arabia this summer.

The Brazilian has been a key player for Pep Guardiola since he arrived at City from Benfica in the summer of 2017 for a reported £35m.

The 30-year-old has been City's number one stopper following his move to the Etihad Stadium and has enjoyed a trophy laden spell in that time.

Ederson has won six Premier League titles, the Champions League once, two FA Cups and four League Cups with City, making 332 appearances for the Manchester club.

Ederson played the bulk of last season's matches for City with 43 appearances, although number two stopper Stefan Ortega turned out 20 times in all competitions for Guardiola's side.

The Brazilian has two years left on his deal at City, meaning the club can demand a reasonable fee for him should offers arrive.

He has been linked with a switch to Saudi Arabia all summer, but Guardiola has been clear in his wish for Ederson to remain where he is given his importance to how City play.

The City boss said: "I wish from the bottom of my heart Eddie will continue with us. I would love him to stay.

"I cannot imagine our processes succeeding these last seasons without him. He is an important figure in the locker room."

Ederson himself has now spoken on his City future following their pre-season 3-2 loss to AC Milan in the USA.

And though he insisted he is happy at Guardiola's side and welcomed the positive comments from his manager about him, he did not completely rule out a move.

Speaking to TNT Brazil (via Man City News) the goalkeeper said: "There isn't a definition yet. To hear Pep saying that was very gratifying, it's now my eighth season with him living many good moments, also some bad ones, it's a guy that is easy to work with, he's a football genius and everyone knows that. So it's really good to hear that from him.

"I'm happy here, having a good moment with my teammates, I'm enjoying as well to get my fitness back on track.

"I'm very calm, whatever happens is in God's hands and he knows the right way to go. Whatever he gives me I'll be happy with."
