Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed uncertainty regarding the future of goalkeeper Ederson, who has been linked to a move to the Saudi Pro League. Guardiola stated, "I don't know - he has to see maybe now other options... Of course, I'd like him to stay."

Ederson's future at City is uncertain, with Guardiola acknowledging that the goalkeeper has been an integral part of the team's success over the past seven or eight years. The manager praised Ederson, saying, "He's been the 'keeper for the team that has [had] incredible success... We have an incredible three 'keepers, especially the two who play regularly."

Guardiola's comments come after Ederson featured in the second half of City's 4-3 pre-season defeat to Celtic in South Carolina. The goalkeeper missed the final matches of last season due to injury, with Stefan Ortega stepping in to make crucial saves that helped City secure a fourth consecutive Premier League title.

In other news, Erling Haaland scored a goal in City's pre-season match against Celtic, with Oscar Bobb providing two assists. Guardiola's side will face AC Milan on July 28 in their next pre-season match.

The uncertainty surrounding Ederson's future adds to the speculation about player movements during the transfer window. Guardiola emphasized that anything can happen until the last day of the transfer window, not just for Ederson but for many players.
