“I would like Ederson to decide his future as soon as possible. I just hope he stays with us. He is a person I respect and love. He is a great goalkeeper, but if he has to leave, with all due regret I will understand.” This is what Pep Guardiola had to say a few days ago about the future of Edersonstrongly linked to Al Ittihad. And in the end the Manchester City manager will be satisfied, because the Brazilian goalkeeper will not go to Saudi Arabia.
According to Fabrizio Romano, in fact, Al Ittihad has found its new goalkeeper: it is Predrag Rajkovicgoalkeeper of the Serbian national team. The deal between the club coached by Laurent Blanc and which also has Karim Benzema in the team and Mallorca, the club that owns Rajkovic’s contract, has been closed: the Serbian number one will leave Spain for 11 million euros and will fly to the Saudi Pro League in the next few days.
