Man City sign Ederson for €40M from Benfica

An official announcement on the Portuguese Securities Market Commission confirmed the signing.

The 23-year-old – who is yet to make his debut for Brazil – has signed a five-year deal at the Etihad Stadium.

Ederson flew into Manchester on Monday and was at City’s training ground on Tuesday to complete a medical and conduct interviews with the club’s in-house media channels, but official confirmation of his signing was held up by third-party ownership issues.

He will battle with Claudio Bravo for a place in the Pep Guardiola’s starting XI next season, with Willy Caballero having been released and Joe Hart to be sold following the end of his loan spell at Torino.

City’s summer spending now stands at around £80m, after the club announced the £43m capture of Bernardo Silva from Monaco on Friday.
