Ederson Leaves Manchester City for Fenerbahçe, Seeks New Challenges

In a surprising move, Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson has departed Manchester City after 8 years to join Turkish club Fenerbahçe. The 32-year-old, who was a key part of Manchester City's recent success under Pep Guardiola, including their treble-winning season in 2022-23 and four straight Premier League titles, says he was no longer happy at the English club and had asked to leave in 2024.

Ederson has now signed a 3-year contract with Fenerbahçe, and he is excited about the new challenge. "When Fenerbahçe came along, I embraced it," he said. "I continue with my winning mentality, the same winning mentality I had at City and Benfica, and I want to win at Fenerbahçe too." The goalkeeper also expressed his desire to help Fenerbahçe end their long wait for a domestic title, as the club hasn't won a national championship since 2014.
