The 31-year-old signed from Benfica for £35m in 2017 and is entering the final year of his deal at Etihad Stadium.

The Brazil international had been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia last summer and said in October there was an “offer on the table” which was “way above the average”.

The City number one is currently with the squad at the Club World Cup in the United States.

“My future is here,” said Ederson. “Some friends send me a lot of news but 99% is fake news. I understand you guys.

“You need the news to put a like on social media, or rant for the news. I understand but there’s a lot of fake news around my name.”

Ederson is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and has been integral to City’s success in recent years – winning six Premier League titles, the Champions League and two FA Cups.

“My head is here,” said Ederson. “It stays with the city. It gives me everything to go back to the Premier League again and try to win the Champions League as well.

“My mind is staying in the club.”

Meanwhile, Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa has been linked with a move to City and reports say the Portugal goalkeeper has a £64m release clause in his contract.

Asked about Ederson’s future, boss Pep Guardiola said: “I don’t know.

“I am so pleased what I am seeing in the training sessions and he is with us. He has had a spectacular decade with us and his contribution has been massive in many aspects.”

The Brazilian goalkeeper has been the subject of interest from the Saudi Pro League.

Guardiola said at the end of last season he still regarded Ederson as his first-choice goalkeeper, even though he chose back-up Stefan Ortega for the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid.

Speaking after his side’s 4-3 friendly defeat by Celtic in North Carolina, Guardiola said: “I’d like him to stay but it depends on other clubs.

“I don’t know the situation. There have been no contacts in the last days. It’s a question of training, being with us until the transfer window finishes and we’ll see.”

Ederson came on at half-time during City’s loss to Celtic in Chapel Hill, which was the Premier League champions’ opening pre-season game.

If Ederson’s future is uncertain, Kalvin Phillips seems certain to leave City – most likely on loan – before the transfer window closes on 30 August.

Phillips endured a terrible spell at West Ham in the second half of last season, ending any hopes of him making Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024.

He was replaced at half-time against Celtic, although Guardiola said that was to protect him after he had missed the end of last season with injury.

“That’s why we didn’t give him more minutes,” said Guardiola.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen. He knows the situation, and we’ll see.”​​​​​​​

Haaland captains City in Celtic defeat

Erling Haaland was handed the City armband for the first time as Guardiola named a blend of youth and experience in his starting line-up.

City’s side, which included six academy graduates alongside the likes of Kalvin Phillips, Jack Grealish and Stefan Ortega, trailed to Nicolas Kuhn’s goal but Norway international Oscar Bobb found an equaliser in the 33rd minute.

Celtic, who were playing their fourth pre-season match, went into the break 3-1 up after Kuhn scored his second of the game and Kyogo Furuhashi got on the scoresheet.

City fought back in the second half, with Maximo Perrone scoring within 60 seconds of the restart to cut the deficit.

Kasper Schmeichel, making his first appearance for Celtic since joining from Anderlecht, denied Haaland on three occasions.

But the Norwegian, 24, scored the equaliser shortly before the hour-mark when he headed home a cross from compatriot Bobb.

Celtic found the winner in the 68th minute when Luis Palma, who had come on three minutes earlier, scored on the counter-attack.

The Bhoys’ US tour continues against Chelsea on Saturday in Indiana, while City take on AC Milan in New York.

The 30-year-old Brazil international was unhappy at being replaced after 69 minutes of Tuesday’s 2-0 league win at Tottenham following a collision with Spurs’ Cristian Romero.

Leaders City host West Ham on Sunday, knowing victory – or matching Arsenal’s result against Everton – will seal a fourth consecutive title.

City meet Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley on 25 May.

Stefan Ortega, who made some key saves after replacing Ederson against Spurs, is set to deputise for the final two games.

The German has played in every round of the FA Cup and Carabao Cup over the past two seasons and was likely to feature at Wembley even if Ederson was available.

Ederson was hurt when he fouled striker Darwin Nunez for a Liverpool penalty, from which the hosts equalised.

Although the Brazilian carried on after receiving treatment, he had to be replaced soon after by Stefan Ortega.

Ederson, 30, is set to miss City’s next Premier League game at home to title rivals Arsenal on 31 March.

He would also miss this Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final at home to Newcastle, which is followed by the latest international break.

City have assessed the extent of the damage and told the Brazilian FA that Ederson will not be fit for international duty.

German keeper Ortega, 31, could also deputise for City’s home game with Aston Villa on Wednesday, 3 April and their visit to Crystal Palace the following Saturday.
