Ederson, a goalkeeper from Brazil, was born on August 17, 1993. He is a member of the English Premier League club Manchester City. The goalkeeper moved from Benfica to Manchester City in the summer of 2017 for an astounding 40 million euros (35 million Pounds). His transfer to Real Madrid in 2001 made him the second most expensive goalkeeper in history, behind only Gianluigi Buffon’s move to Juventus for a few more million euros. In his first full season, the Brazilian set several club records, helping the club win the Premier League.
The man who hails from Osasco, Brazil, is widely acknowledged as one of his period’s most talented goalkeepers. Besides his apparent talents between the sticks (the ability to stop, block shots, and grab high balls), he is highly acclaimed for his long kicks and throws. Because of his proficiency in distribution, he can initiate attacks. This individual is a frequent member of the Brazilian national team, the Seleçao, and has played in some of Europe’s top divisions. He stood out for Brazil at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Unfortunately for the South American team, they were eliminated from the tournament by eventual winners Belgium in the quarterfinals.

- Ederson’s body is covered with 34 tattoos. These tattoos have different meanings, including his Christian faith, football skills, and his family in Brazil.
- He started playing soccer as a left-back for Champions Ebenézer FC, a local team in Brazil. He went to the club just like his older brother did.
- As reported by Benfica on June 1, 2017, Manchester City paid £35 million (around €40 million) to acquire Ederson from the Brazilian club. This transfer positioned him as the world’s second-most expensive goalie ever.
- Compared to Bravo’s 25m, Ederson‘s average distribution length is 31m. Ederson is more mindful of forgoing short than David De Gea (36m), Tihabuat Courtois (45m), and Simon Mignolet (42m).
- On September 9, Sadio Mané kicked Ederson in the face, forcing him to exit the match against Liverpool. Mané was sent off and banned for three games by referee Jon Moss, and Ederson needed eight stitches. Ederson played in the Champions League against Feyenoord the following week with a protective headpiece. Ederson assumed Mané’s collision was inadvertent and accepted his apology.
- Ederson is deeply religious and considers himself a sincere Christian. Of course, Ederson comes from a deeply religious household as well, and the same teachings he received as a kid have led him to believe in Jesus Christ as his own Lord and Savior.
- On August 19, 2018, Sergio Agüero scored Manchester City’s first Premier League goal from Ederson’s goal-kick in a 6-1 win over Huddersfield Town. Ederson won the Golden Glove on July 26, 2020, after a 5-0 home win over Norwich City.
