After Ederson's red card in the derby, claims that he 'acted intentionally' came to light, while it was suggested that he could transfer to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season.
The crisis at Fenerbahçe deepens following the derby defeat. After parting ways with head coach Domenico Tedesco, allegations regarding goalkeeper Ederson have now dominated the agenda.
DERBY PERFORMANCE SPARKS DEBATE
Ederson, who faced criticism after receiving a red card during the match, is alleged to have acted deliberately on the field. VOLE commentator Serkan Akkoyun claimed that the Brazilian goalkeeper instructed his agent, "Find me a club," after the Rizespor match.
Akkoyun argued that Ederson's actions in the derby were no coincidence, suggesting the player intentionally tried to get himself sent off. His gesture towards the VAR monitor was also seen as an attempt to increase his punishment.
PLAN TO LEAVE ALLEGED
According to the allegations, Ederson's goal was to end the season early and leave the team. The player's admission of his harsh intervention toward the VAR cabin in his statement was interpreted as a factor strengthening these claims.
NEW DESTINATION COULD BE SAUDI ARABIA
According to journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, Ederson is expected to leave Fenerbahçe at the end of the season. The experienced goalkeeper, who has serious suitors from Saudi Arabia, is considered likely to move to that country.
In a report by Transfer Feed, it was stated that Al Hilal has stepped in and is preparing a high-cost offer, aiming to finalize the transfer.
MANAGEMENT DECIDES ON FINE
According to a report by Sercan Hamzaoğlu, Fenerbahçe's management has imposed a financial penalty on Ederson for his behavior in the derby. While it remains unclear whether the player will be excluded from the squad, it was emphasized that the management will not compromise on discipline.
