Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has explained why he turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia this past summer.
Details: According to the Brazilian shot-stopper, his decision to remain in Manchester was heavily influenced by head coach Pep Guardiola.
Quote: "There was indeed an offer on the table, something significant, because it was an extraordinary proposal.
I had countless conversations with Pep Guardiola, and one of those talks was crucial in convincing me to stay," the goalkeeper told TNTSportsBR.
Recall: During the summer transfer window, there were reports that Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi club, Al-Nassr, had shown interest in Ederson.
The Brazilian has been playing for Manchester City since the summer of 2017, when he joined from Benfica for £35 million.
