Pep Guardiola has admitted that he is unsure if Ederson will stay at Manchester City amid Saudi Pro League transfer interest.

The interest in Ederson from the Saudi Pro League has grown, with Al-Ittihad reportedly ready to meet City’s valuation of around £50 million ($65 million/€60 million).

It is believed that the Brazilian has already agreed on personal terms with the Pro League team and is keen to try a fresh challenge away from the English shores.

After City’s 4-3 friendly loss to Celtic in North Carolina, Guardiola admitted to being in the dark over Ederson’s future.

“I’d like him to stay but it depends on other clubs,” he told reporters.

“I don’t know the situation.

“There have been no contacts in the last days.

“It’s a question of training, being with us until the transfer window finishes and we’ll see.”

While it’s still unclear where Ederson will be playing his football next season, Kalvin Phillips looks set to exit City, most likely via another loan spell after a challenging stint at West Ham.

He was hooked off at half-time against Celtic, a decision Guardiola attributed to protecting the player following his injury struggles towards the end of last season.

“That’s why we didn’t give him more minutes,” Guardiola explained.

“Also, I don’t know what’s going to happen.

“He knows the situation, and we’ll see.”
