Since joining the Citizens from Benfica in 2017, Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson has amassed an impressive 332 appearances for the side.
The 30-year-old sweeper-keeper has been integral to Pep Guardiola's system in England, but is now reportedly "considering his options" after initial contract discussions.
HITC claims City have been left stunned after they made it clear in February that they were eager to extend his stay in Manchester, with his current deal expiring in 2026.
