Na big tori for football world as Ederson Santana de Moraes, Manchester City number one goalkeeper, don finally pack im bags comot from Etihad Stadium. Dis move shock plenty fans wey don dey used to see am stand like rock for City goalpost since 2017.
E be like say de end of an era don come for de club, and we go break down dis tori for pidgin, so everybody fit follow am well well.
Ederson join Manchester City from Benfica for £35 million, and since dat time, e don turn legend for de club.
Im CV no be small thing—six Premier League titles, one Champions League, two FA Cups, and three League Cups. E even hold record as de goalkeeper wey get most assists (eight) for Premier League history.
Dis Brazilian shot-stopper no just dey save goals; e dey play like midfielder with im passing skills, wey make Pep Guardiola love am well well.
But as e dey, tings don change, and Ederson don move go Fenerbahce for Turkey for around £12 million, according to Sky Sports.
So, wetin make Ederson comot? De tori start since last year when Saudi Pro League clubs dey disturb am with big money offers.
E talk say most of de news na “fake news” for June 2025, when e dey Club World Cup, insisting say im mind dey with City. But as transfer window dey go, e clear say the Brazilian shot-stopper don dey think of new adventure.
Galatasaray from Turkey first show interest, even make £8.5 million bid, but City reject am, say dem want more money.
E be like Ederson too don ready for change, maybe because im contract go end for 2026, and City no wan lose am for free.
Pep Guardiola, de Manchester City oga, talk plenty times say e want Ederson to stay. For August, e even call am im number one keeper, but e add say if any player wan comot, dem go knock im door.
E be like Ederson knock dat door softly softly, because by August 16, dem bench am for Premier League opener against Wolves, and James Trafford, wey City just sign back from Burnley, play instead. Some talk say Ederson get “stomach bug,” but fans sabi say transfer tori dey cook.
By September 1, de deal with Fenerbahce don set, and na so Ederson chapter for City end.
Why Fenerbahce? Ederson bin prefer to stay for Europe instead of going Saudi or even back to Brazil, where Flamengo fans bin dey dream of am.
Fenerbahce, dey try build strong team for Turkish Super Lig, and Ederson experience go be big asset. At 32 years old, e still get plenty to offer, and dis move fit give am chance to shine for new league.
Plus, City don already line up Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain as im replacement, so dem no dey sleep for transfer market.
Donnarumma, wey be 26 years old, sign five-year deal with option for extra year, and e go be City new number one.
For City fans, dis move dey bittersweet. Ederson no be just goalkeeper; e be leader, character, and one of de best for im position.
Some fans for Reddit dey vex, call am “ungrateful” to want comot, while others feel say after eight years and plenty trophies, e don pay im dues.
Dem talk say im form last season no too sharp, and maybe Donnarumma go bring fresh energy, even if im passing no reach Ederson level.
Still, no fit deny say Ederson na legend—e save City for big games like Champions League final and dat Madrid match wey dem no go forget.
As Ederson dey wave goodbye, James Trafford go dey compete with Donnarumma for de number one spot, while Stefan Ortega, wey bin be backup, fit comot too.
City dey try shake up dia squad after last season wey dem no win any major trophy. Pep Guardiola don talk say de team need new hunger, and dis transfer fit be part of dat plan.
For Ederson, na new chapter for Turkey, and fans go dey watch to see how e go perform under Mourinho. One thing sure: im legacy for Manchester City go live on.
