An "unbelievable" Manchester City player could now leave the club when January arrives, despite reportedly closing in on a contract extension at the Etihad.
Ederson sends goodbye message to Man City fans
It is officially the end of a glorious era between the sticks at City, with the legendary Ederson's time at the club coming to an end earlier this week.
The Brazilian has been an unbelievable servant for Pep Guardiola's side, winning six Premier League titles, and he has spoken glowingly about his time at the club after sealing a move to Fenerbahçe.
"For me, it’s amazing. Six Premier League titles in eight seasons. I remember after my last Premier League title, I spoke with Fred Caldeira (TNT presenter) and said after winning four-in-a-row it’s like normal now! It’s not normal.

"In the future when you stop, you will see you made history with your team. No other team has won four-in-a-row. We made history, my team made history. The players, the staff, this club made history."
Ederson's brilliance on the ball could be a big loss for City, even though the elite Gianluigi Donnarumma has replaced him from Paris Saint-Germain, and now another exit rumour has emerged.
"Unbelievable" Man City ace linked with exit
According to Caught Offside, Manchester City are "facing serious January transfer window interest" in youngster Nico O'Reilly, with numerous Premier League clubs eyeing him up.
Bayer Leverkusen, Lyon, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Brighton are all eyeing a move for the in-demand Englishman, so it looks as if Guardiola will have to beat off suitors with a stick.
This is despite Fabrizio Romano recently reporting that the 20-year-old is set to sign a new deal at the Etihad, even though his current contract doesn't expire until the summer of 2028.
Losing O'Reilly this early in his career would be a risk for City, assuming they are happy to potentially offload him when the January window opens.
The Englishman has emerged as one of the best young players at the club, displaying and being hailed by teammate Bernardo Silva, who is clearly a big admirer.
"He was unbelievable. Against Plymouth it showed the impact that he can have on the game and the energy he brought into the game changed completely the game for us so well deserved I'm happy for you and that's what we needed."
Ultimately, the decision rests with Guardiola, who must assess how important O'Reilly is to him and City moving forward, but it would be a shame to see a young homegrown talent leave so early in his career, as was also the case with Cole Palmer, for example.
