"Manchester City" announced their second summer newcomer - on July 1st, the team will be joined by 23-year-old goalkeeper Ederson. The goalkeeper from Brazil became the second most expensive player in football history in that position. "City" paid 40 million euros to Lisbon's "Benfica" club for the footballer. Ederson will sign a five-year contract with "Man City" and should be Pep Guardiola's first choice goalkeeper next season. Ederson arrived in Europe in 2015. Initially, the Brazilian played for the second team of "Benfica", but soon he had a chance to show himself in the main team. This season, Ederson played 34 matches for "Benfica" and helped the team become champions of Portugal. "Man City" previously acquired Bernardo Silva from "Monaco", whose transfer to the "City" could cost up to 70 million euros.
