I have tried my best to convince him but his mind is already made, he has decided to leave Manchester City this summer-Man City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that £50 million Star has left Ethihad to join shocking Saudi Arabia Club
Pep now confesses he doesn’t know if the £100k-per-week Manchester City player will stay.
One Manchester City player has reportedly signed a’verbal agreement’ with another club.
City’s preseason began with a 4-3 loss to Celtic in the United States yesterday night.
Oscar Bobb, Erling Haaland, and Maximo Perrone scored for City, but the Scottish giants won in North Carolina.
The game provided an opportunity for Pep Guardiola to evaluate his players.
Many of the team members are still gone, having competed in foreign events. This was an opportunity for periphery players and inexperienced guys to make a mark.
Ederson is one player that competed in an overseas event this summer but returned to the United States for preseason.
MORE MAN CITY STORIES
Ederson has become the subject of much conjecture this summer and is a potential target for the Saudi Pro League.
Ederson has’verbal agreement’ with Al-Ittihad, and Pep Guardiola confesses he doesn’t know if Man City goalkeeper would stay.

Caught Offside claims Ederson has signed a “verbal deal” with Al-Ittihad.
The Saudi club is claimed to have offered Ederson a three-year deal for £67 million, with the Brazilian verbally agreeing to the personal conditions.
Last night, City played Celtic in the United States, and manager Pep Guardiola was asked about Ederson’s present condition.
The Spaniard said he had no idea if Ederson, who came in at half-time last night, would stay.
He stated (via BBC Sport): “I’d prefer him to stay, but it depends on other teams.”
“I don’t understand the scenario. There have been no communications in recent days. It’s a question of training, staying with us until the transfer window closes, and we’ll see.”
With City’s pre-season tour already underway, the club could use an end to the Ederson dilemma.
It is perhaps not optimal to have that much background noise around the gamer.
Ederson, who earns £100,000-per-week, is reportedly interested in moving to Saudi Arabia. But, of course, it will all rely on whether Al-Ittihad can afford what City is asking. It’s all well and well to throw money at players, but Ederson is an asset to City and will not be cheap.
It would be a pity to lose him. For many years, he has been a key part of City’s playing style.
But Pep has a quality replacement in Stefan Ortega, who is poised to take the number one post if the Brazilian leaves.
