Manchester City have sold Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson to Fenerbahce and allowed Swiss defender Manuel Akanji to join Inter Milan on a season-long loan.
Ederson leaves the Blues after eight years in which he helped them win six Premier League titles and the Champions League.
Turkish side Fenerbahce have agreed to pay £12.1m for the 32-year-old, who made 372 appearances across all competitions for City after a £35m move from Benfica in 2017.
City are planning for the long term with new goalkeepers. They signed James Trafford from Burnley this summer and have agreed a £26m deal to bring in Italy’s Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris St-Germain on a five-year deal.
Ederson also won the FA Cup twice with City and helped manager Pep Guardiola’s team claim the Treble in 2022-23.
Switzerland international Akanji was also a key player in that remarkable season of success after joining City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022. He started the 2023 Champions League final, which was against the 30-year-old’s new team Inter.
Ederson will be remembered as one of City’s greatest goalkeepers.
He said: I leave Manchester City incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, and I am honoured to have worn the shirt so many times.
Under Pep, we have won dominated the Premier League and conquered Europe. It has been amazing.
