The 28-year-old has established himself as a key figure in Pep Guardiola’s side since he was signed from Benfica in 2017.

He has kept 94 clean sheets in 195 appearances and winning every domestic honour available, as well as two Premier League Golden Gloves.

While reacting to his new contract, City’s No.31 believes the club is the perfect place to achieve his ambitions. He told mancity.com.

What Ederson Moraes said

“This was an easy decision for me. There is nowhere else I’d want to be.
“To be part of one of the best squads in world football and to compete for trophies year in year out is what every footballer wants, and that is the opportunity you’re given at City."

Ederson has conceded just twice this campaign - against Leicester City in the Community Shield and in their Premier League opener vs Tottenham Hotspur.

Top 10 highest spending club in the last decade

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Manchester City have been named as the No.1 club with the most international transfer and highest spenders between the year 2011 and 2020, SPORTbible reports.

In the previous decade, the Citizens who were earlier chasing a top-four finish became five-time Premier League winners and major Champions League contenders, having reached their first final in May.

Although recent successes of the club could be attributed to Pep Guardiola’s brilliant management style, there is no doubt that Manchester City have spent big to turn around their fortunes.
