City's director of football, Hugo Viana, praised Ederson's contribution, stating, "The fact no goalkeeper has ever won more Premier League titles says everything you need to know about his quality and consistency. He has been a huge figure in all our successes."
Manchester City has already prepared for Ederson's departure by signing goalkeeper James Trafford from Burnley this summer and agreeing to a £26 million deal for Italian international Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain.
