  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The 2024-25 campaign has been one of the worst of Ederson's eight-year spell at the Etihad Stadium. The Brazilian has lost the total confidence of manager Pep Guardiola, with backup Stefan Ortega often receiving the nod in some of their bigger games. The 31-year-old has been linked with a move away from the club in the summer as the Cityzens are eyeing a move for FC Porto's Diogo Costa.
