Ederson has completed a £12 million move to Fenerbahçe from Manchester City, signing a five-year contract with the Turkish club that runs until 2030.
Following his exit, the Brazilian goalkeeper penned an emotional farewell message to Manchester City fans, expressing deep gratitude to everyone who played a role in his journey at the club.
“I am deeply grateful to all my teammates: true brothers in battle, with whom I shared victories, defeats, laughter, tears, and unforgettable memories. Nothing would have been possible without your commitment, unity, and friendship.
A special thank you to Mister Pep (Guardiola), who, together with Xabier (Mancisidor), our goalkeeper coach, believed in me and helped me grow not only as a player but also as a person. My gratitude also extends to the entire coaching staff.
I want to give very special recognition to all the staff at Manchester City. You are the true silent heroes of this club: the ones who make every training session happen, who take care of every detail, and who are always there to support us, often far from the spotlight. You are what make this club unique, human, and welcoming every single day.”
In his message to the Cityzens, Ederson acknowledged the club’s loyal supporters, describing the connection with them as unforgettable:
“To the Cityzens, there are no words strong enough to describe what I feel. You transformed every game into something bigger than football.
Your unconditional support, the energy in the stadium, your messages in difficult times, and your celebrations in moments of glory were my fuel. Manchester is blue because of you, and that colour will forever remain in my heart.
Two of my three children were born here in Manchester, which makes this city more than just a place—it’s a home that I will carry with me forever.
Now it’s time to close this victorious chapter and begin a new one, with new challenges ahead. That’s what drives us: to always strive for our best, with commitment, dedication, and purpose.
I wish the club continued success, inspiration, and brilliance—just as it has shown in recent years. Thank you for everything. You have changed my life. I love you, Cityzens!”
Ederson spent eight seasons at Man City, winning the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, six Premier League titles, and six domestic cups.
