The Brazil goalkeeper's future at the club remains uncertain amid speculation linking him with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Ederson has been an integral figure for City since his arrival from Benfica in 2017, with 112 clean sheets in 250 Premier League appearances under Guardiola, while recording a save percentage of 68.17.

The 30-year-old conceded just 26 goals last season as the Citizens won an unprecedented fourth successive Premier League title, the sixth since he joined the club.

Ederson's distribution has also been crucial to City's success, notably completing 942 of his 1,097 passes last term (85.87 per cent).

"I wish from the bottom of my heart Eddie will continue with us," Guardiola said. "I would love him to stay.

 "I cannot imagine our processes succeeding these last seasons without him. He is an important figure in the locker room."

Ederson could feature for City when it continues its pre-season tour of the United States against Paulo Fonseca's AC Milan at Yankee Stadium.
