Man City’s first-choice goalkeeper Ederson has now taken to social media to discuss this matter.
Manchester City’s first-choice goalkeeper Ederson has slammed claims that he was ‘affected’ by praise for teammate Stefan Ortega. The Brazilian has been a crucial part of Man City since his arrival from Benfica in the summer of 2017.
The Brazil international has made 332 appearances during his time with the club. He helped the club to win six Premier League titles, four EFL Cups, two FA Cups, a Champions League, a UEFA Super Cup and a Club World Cup.
As per reports of the Athletic, Ederson is open to a departure is because he was ‘affected’ by praise offered to Ortega for his form in the penultimate match of the Premier League season.
Man City’s first-choice goalkeeper has now taken to social media and said, “I would like to clarify that the note published by The Athletic yesterday, referring to my alleged dissatisfaction with a co-worker, is completely false.
“The alleged day reported was, without a doubt, one of the most difficult days of my career, when I suffered a fracture that prevented me from playing in the final stretch of the season and, consequently, from representing my country in the Copa America.
“‘At the time of the injury, my only thought was to continue in the match, defending City in the fight for the title we had won, but the emotion of the match would be greater than the reality and, inevitably, I would not be able to continue as I would have liked due to the damage it caused, completely blocking my field of vision. I remain focused on preparing for the season.”
