Pep Guardiola is desperate for goalkeeper Ederson to remain at Manchester City as Saudi clubs seek his signature.
Ederson has been hotly-linked with a move to Al-Ittihad and he seems to be interested in a move to Saudi Arabia.
According to Goal.com, Ederson was disappointed with the praise his deputy Stefan Ortega received following the Brazilian's injury that kept him out of the final stages of the season. Despite this, Guardiola has not given up hope of keeping Ederson at the club.
Guardiola said: "I wish with the bottom of my heart Eddie will continue with us... I would love him to stay. I cannot imagine our processes succeeding these last seasons without him. He is an important figure in the locker room."
Since joining City from Benfica in 2017, Ederson has won a total of 17 trophies.
Should the goalkeeper depart for Saudi, he will leave the club as one their most-decorated players and Ederson could join a side that boasts the likes of Karim Benzema, Moussa Diaby and N'Golo Kante. He could be followed to Saudi by team-mate Kevin De Bruyne whose future remains in the balance. Meanwhile, City will likely stick with Ortega in goal as their number one and seek a new back-up.
