<p>In October, Ederson revealed there had been a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/al-hilal-moves-for-barcelona-s-marc-andre-ter-stegen-and-man-city-s-ederson-as-well-as-liverpool-stopper-alisson/blta26c1bc28157a851" target="_blank">proposal “far above the average”</a> but ultimately chose to remain in Manchester. Now entering the final year of his contract, speculation has reignited around his future, but Ederson appears fully intent on seeing out his deal, if not extending his stay further. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>"My future is here," Ederson told reporters. "Some friends send me a lot of news but 99% is fake news. I understand you guys. You need the news to put a like on social media, or rant for the news. I understand but there's a lot of fake news around my name."</p><p>He added: "My head is here. It stays with the city. It gives me everything to go back to the Premier League again and try to win the Champions League as well. My mind is staying in the club."</p>

WHAT EDERSON SAID

<p>City manager Pep Guardiola was asked to weigh in on the goalkeeper’s future, but he kept his comments brief.</p><p>"I don't know," he said. "I am so pleased what I am seeing in the training sessions and he is with us. He has had a spectacular decade with us and his contribution has been massive in many aspects."</p><p>Guardiola’s remarks come at a time when reports have linked the club with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-man-utd-alert-porto-goalkeeper-diogo-costa-summer-premier-league-eur60m-ederson-andre-onana-replacement/bltb8c85a4cb2f2a330" target="_blank">potential move for Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa</a>. The 24-year-old Portuguese international has a release clause of £64m ($88m), according to sources, sparking speculation he could be viewed as a long-term successor.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ederson joined Manchester City from Benfica in 2017 for £35 million and has since established himself as one of the elite goalkeepers in world football. His time at City has been decorated with silverware, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and a UEFA Champions League triumph.</p>

<p>City will face Juventus in Orlando in their next Club World Cup group stage match. A victory would see them top their group and avoid an early knockout-stage showdown with Real Madrid.</p>
