Last summer, the "Man City" team could have lost their main goalkeeper Ederson, who was being intensely courted by Saudi Arabian clubs.

However, neither "Al Nassr" nor "Al Ittihad" achieved their goal, although the player himself did not oppose moving to the Middle East.

As the 31-year-old Brazilian stated now, he was held back from this decisive step by the "Citizens" coach Josep Guardiola.

"I received a rarely occurring offer, which I seriously considered.

I constantly spoke with coach J. Guardiola, and one conversation became decisive. He talked to me about guarantees, the process, and how I improved playing in his managed team," Ederson explained.

According to the media, the "Al Ittihad" team offered the athlete a two-year contract worth 60 million euros. At "Man City," the player earns a salary that is six times lower.
