The Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson will continue his career in the English Premier League.
For 23-year-old goalkeeper Manchester city paid 40 million euros, but only half of this amount went to Benfica, who owned 50% of the rights to the Ederson. The remaining 20 million will be distributed between “Rio Ave” (12 million euros) and the Agency of influential functionary Jorge Mendes “Gestifute” (8 million euros).
Ederson has become one of the most expensive goalkeepers in the world. The world record for transfers of goalkeepers still holds Gianluigi Buffon, whom Juventus in 2001 paid “Parma” to 53 million euros.
The details of the personal contract of Ederson with Manchester city is unknown. It is expected that the Brazilian will sign a contract until the summer of 2022.
In the face of Ederson coach of “Citizens” Josep Guardiola hopes to get a new goalie. Such a player for the “city” was to be ex-
goalkeeper “Barcelona” Claudio Bravo, but he failed in his debut season in England and is unlikely to remain at the club.
Ederson played in the championship of Portugal since 2012. Rookie Manchester city twice helped Benfica to be champion of Portugal. Last season, the Brazilian domestic matches played 27 matches and 18 times kept their goal intact.
