Ex-Benfica man who played with Bernardo Silva on his City stint | OneFootball

The footballer who shared the locker room with Bernardo Silva talks about his stay in England. In a recent interview, Ederson, who was trained at Benfica, spoke about his connection to Manchester City, explaining that he didn't feel happy serving the English club and feels better in Turkey.

In a conversation with the newspaper The Sun, the former number 31 of the citizens explained what he felt when representing the team led by Pep Guardiola: "It didn't make sense to stay at a big and victorious club if I wasn't happy". The Brazilian international moved to Fenerbahçe, where he reunited with a former Benfica player.

In his first months serving the Istanbul club, which also signed Kerem Akturkoglu, Ederson reveals that sometimes the best way to move forward is to change scenery: "Sometimes, new challenges are good for your career. I am very happy with this challenge and eager to win".

In the same interview, the former teammate of Bernardo Silva, as well as Rúben Dias, explained how his last exchange of words with the citizens' coach went: "It's hard to explain the conversation I had with Pep [Guardiola] on the phone. I love him, I love his mentality, and for me, he is the best coach of our time".

Finally, Ederson - currently valued at 18 million euros - revealed that his decision to leave the English champion had been on his mind for over a year: "It was a pleasure to work with him. I was already thinking about leaving in the 2024/25 season, but it didn't happen".
