'It's over' - Man City transfer decision confirmed as 'key' Julian Alvarez update emerges

Manchester City are edging closer to the start of the new Premier League season as Pep Guardiola goes in search of yet another title.

The Sky Blues continued their preparations for the upcoming campaign by defeating Manchester United in the Community Shield, recovering from going a goal down to win on penalties.

There has been change of late at the club following Julian Alvarez's expected exit, which could prove to be a major loss in the coming months, though City will back themselves to fill the void left by the Argentine.

Ederson was another individual linked with a move away, though it is looking increasingly likely the Brazilian goalkeeper will be at the Etihad for 2024/25.

Ederson future claim

Ederson has pledged his commitment to City, insisting he plans to remain at the club for "more years" amid talk over his future.

The Brazilian has been a target for Saudi Pro League sides this summer, though appears to be set on remaining at the Etihad for the foreseeable.

Clarifying his stance after the Community Shield win, he told ESPN Brasil: “It’s over. I spoke with some players, the coach, director, everyone. I talked to my family and it was a joint decision. We’ll stay more years at City. The media says many things, sometimes inventing a little more. But I’ve already decided my future, especially after the conversation I had with Guardiola. This season, I’m totally focused at City with my team-mates in search of more titles.”
