Ederson has left Manchester City and sealed a move to Fenerbahce.
Gianluigi Donnarumma has signed for Manchester City and he is set to be his heir at the Etihad Stadium.
However, with Ederson being a fan favourite at Manchester City, the supporters will miss one of the greatest players of all time.
The 32-year-old has been one of the fundamental reasons behind Pep Guardiola’s dominance of English and European football.

With Ederson becoming a Fenerbahce player, he has sent a message to the fans on Manchester City’s official website: “I leave Manchester City incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, and I am honoured to have worn the shirt so many times.”
“Under Pep, we have won, dominated the Premier League and conquered Europe. It has been amazing. “I would first of all like to thank him and Head of Goalkeeping Xabier Mancisidor for making me the best goalkeeper I could be and teaching so much about the game. “
Ederson also went on to appreciate the players he has played with at the Etihad Stadium: “I must also thank my teammates. Our desire to win every game we play has been a joy to be a part of and that has made me relish every day on the training field or in the dressing room with every one of you.

Ederson, who Sam Allardyce called “underrated” continued: Finally, the fans. Thank you for making me feel at home in a city so far away from where I am from and for supporting me throughout what has been an amazing period for me and my family. I arrived in Manchester eight years ago full of hope, but I could not have predicted such a beautiful time together.”
“Playing for City has been the most special time of my life and I will always be a fan of this special club. I’m going with my wife and children, but I’m leaving a big family here, Cityzens. Once a Blue, always a Blue.”
