Keeper prefers Manchester over Munich move

Benfica goalkeeper Ederson would fancy a move to Manchester City and the Premier League - but insists he plans on going nowhere this summer.

Pep Guardiola released third-choice Richard Wright on Friday to whittle down the numbers at the Etihad.

Speculation also suggests City could be prepared to allow backup stopper Willy Caballero to leave the club in the transfer window.

Ederson is one name mentioned as a possible target for Guardiola as he looks to bolster his options in Manchester.

Bayern Munich has also been touted as possible destination for the keeper, however Ederson has admitted he would prefer a move to England.

Speaking in a Facebook Q&A, Ederson said: “City or Munich? They are two great teams, two teams that will fight for titles next season. But I prefer England and City.

“I will not leave (Benfica), do not want to and do not intend to. “Although the decision is not always 100 per cent made by the player. Unfortunately.”
