Manchester City: Ederson commits his future as a Citizen after contract extension

As good as an announcement of a new signing is the signing of contract extension by a world-class player. Manchester City happy to extend the stay of Premier League winner, Ederson.

Man City’s good news keeps coming for fans. After officially becoming the winners of the Premier League, business hasn’t taken it’s time to get going. The Citizens have started securing their precious metal.

The so-called Shark team who are synonymous for their attacking powers and the never back down attitude – tie down the man who was equally impressive on the other end of the pitch. I will go on saying this was their signing of the season.

An important piece to complete the fully functional system was the inclusion of Ederson as the first choice goalkeeper. The complete football the Blues of Manchester displayed – had a lot to do with their sweeper keeper.

Defensively as impressive as their 106 goals accomplishment

He was exactly what the manager needed and the main reason Hart will never see a Man City start ever again. The 24-year-old has been reported to extent contract to 2025. Happy to announce the renewal and in returned – expressed his willingness to sing for the Premier League conquerors.

Talking out after signing the contract (Manchester City website):

"“I’m delighted to sign my new contract.“It means that the Club is happy with my work, they trust me, and I hope to meet their expectations on the pitch and bring a lot of joy to the fans.“I want to win everything we can! All of the competitions, but for me the Champions League is without a doubt a very special competition for us, and it is my dream to win it in Manchester City’s shirt!”"

The Brazilian showed strong resilience in between the sticks. In the 34 Premier League fixtures the stopper was almost impenetrable – he managed to get 15 clean sheets and four while in the Champions League. Justifying this contract extension – the first choice keeper and his trusted defensive line conceded only 27 goals in the EPL.

Normally, when the stat on one end of the pitch has excelled the other tends to lack. But in this case, when you put together one of the world’s best managers and a team costing almost the same price as a small Island.

Next: Farewell Yaya Toure

It’s not an easy feet to have a great defence while putting in three to five goals in on the other end – but what’s even harder is replicating, or bettering their previous campaign, stats, and numbers.

When you set the bar high – sometimes you set it too high for yourself to recapture the same numbers. It will be a great test to see if Ederson and the Man City defence are able to better themselves next season.
