Ederson Santana de Moraes (born 17 August 1993), simply known as Ederson (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈɛdɛʁsõ]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Süper Lig club Fenerbahçe and the Brazil national team.
After finishing as a runner-up in the Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga with Rio Ave in 2014, Ederson returned to Benfica in 2015. He won two Primeira Liga titles and one of each cup before signing for Manchester City for £35 million in 2017. He made 372 appearances for City, winning 18 major honours, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups, and the Champions League in 2023, as part of a continental treble. Ederson won the Premier League Golden Glove three consecutive times between 2020 and 2022.
Ederson made his senior debut for Brazil in 2017. He was chosen in Brazil's squad for the FIFA World Cup in 2018, 2022 and 2026, and the Copa América in 2019 and 2021, winning the 2019 tournament.
Born in Osasco, São Paulo, Ederson started his football career in 2008 at local club São Paulo, with whom he played one season, before joining Benfica in Portugal. He spent two years as a junior before being released in 2011 and signing for Second Division club Ribeirão.
A year later, Ederson joined Primeira Liga club Rio Ave, signing a contract until 2014 in summer 2012. In April 2015, following a series of appearances and a call-up to the Brazil under-23 squad, he signed a new contract with the club that would last until 2019.
On 27 June 2015, Ederson rejoined Portuguese champions Benfica. Then, in July, he officially signed a five-year contract with the club, in a deal worth €500,000, and set a €45 million release clause. Rio Ave would keep 50% of the upcoming keeper's economic rights. In the 2015–16 season, Ederson started as a second choice in line for the first team, defended by compatriot and international Júlio César.
Ederson first played some matches in the Segunda Liga with the reserve team and in the Taça da Liga with the main squad, before playing in the Primeira Liga on 5 March 2016 against local rivals Sporting CP, replacing injured Júlio César. Benfica won the Lisbon derby 0–1 and took the first place of Primeira Liga. He would then be part of eleven more victories that would seal Benfica's 35th league title, their third in a row. Five days later, he played the Taça da Liga final against Marítimo, which Benfica won 6–2. In addition, he played three matches in the Champions League campaign, where Benfica reached the quarter-finals. In his next season, he and Benfica won the treble of Primeira Liga, Taça de Portugal and Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.
On 1 June 2017, Benfica announced that Ederson had joined Premier League club Manchester City for £35 million (€40 million). At the time, the transfer made him the second-most expensive goalkeeper of all-time – currently fifth highest – after Gianluigi Buffon (£33 million), whose transfer fee, although the second highest ever in pounds sterling, still remained the highest of all time in euros (€52 million in 2001) until Alisson Becker's (€75 million in 2018) and then Kepa Arrizabalaga's (€80 million in 2018). Ederson's transfer equalled Axel Witsel's as the largest fee a club has ever paid for a Benfica player at the time.
Ederson was immediately inserted as Pep Guardiola's first choice goalkeeper, supplanting Claudio Bravo. He made his competitive debut for the club on 12 August 2017 in a 0–2 away win at Brighton & Hove Albion, where he kept a clean sheet. On 9 September against Liverpool, Ederson suffered a kick to the face by Sadio Mané, and was forced to leave the game after eight minutes of treatment. Ederson received eight stitches, and Mané was sent off by referee Jon Moss and banned for the subsequent three matches. Ederson made his next start the following week in the Champions League against Feyenoord, sporting a piece of protective headgear. Ederson believed that Mané's collision was accidental, and accepted an apology from the Liverpool player.
On 19 August 2018, Ederson became the first Manchester City goalkeeper to provide a Premier League assist, as his goal-kick was converted by Sergio Agüero for the opening goal in a 6–1 win over Huddersfield Town. In the 2019 EFL Cup final, he saved from Jorginho in a penalty shootout win over Chelsea after a goalless draw; he was again unbeaten in a 6–0 win over Watford in the 2019 FA Cup final as his team won all three major domestic trophies.
Ederson was awarded the Golden Glove for keeping the most clean sheets (16) in the 2019–20 Premier League season after a 5–0 home win against Norwich City. He retained the honour a year later with one game to spare, as Chelsea's Édouard Mendy was unable to match his tally. On 1 September 2021, he signed a new contract to last until 2026. He won the Golden Glove for the third consecutive time in 2021–22, sharing his tally of 20 with compatriot Alisson Becker of Liverpool.
On 15 January 2024, Ederson was awarded the FIFA Best Men's Goalkeeper at the FIFA Best Awards 2023 for keeping the most clean sheets (11) in the 2022–23 Premier League season, most number of saves (22) in the UEFA Champions League and being part of the City team who won the treble in 2023. Four months later, he was ruled out of the last game of the Premier League season and the 2024 FA Cup final after suffering a fractured eye socket in a collision with Cristian Romero in a win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Ederson made a total of 372 appearances across all competitions during his eight-year stay at the club, winning 18 major honours, three Premier League Golden Glove awards, and keeping 122 clean sheets in 276 league appearances, a record for a City goalkeeper.
On 2 September 2025, Ederson joined Süper Lig club Fenerbahçe on a three-year contract with option for a further year. On 14 September, he made his debut with the team in a 1–0 Süper Lig victory against Trabzonspor. On 24 September, he made his continental debut with the team in a UEFA Europa League match against Dinamo Zagreb which was resulted in a 3–1 away defeat.
On 10 January 2026, Ederson won a 2–0 victory against arch rival Galatasaray with his team in 2025 Turkish Super Cup final played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium. It also marked his second trophy at the same stadium, coming nearly two and a half years after he won the 2023 UEFA Champions League final with his former club Manchester City. A month later, on 23 February, due to injury sustained in the Süper Lig match against Kasımpaşa, he would be out for three weeks, as stated by coach Domenico Tedesco in the post-match press conference. Two months later, on 17 April, he conceded a stoppage-time equaliser in a 2–2 draw with Çaykur Rizespor, before being sent off in a 3–0 away defeat to Galatasaray on 26 April, a result that effectively ended his club's hopes of winning the league title.
Ederson was named in Brazil's provisional squad for Copa América Centenario but was cut from the final squad due to injury. His debut for the national team came in a 3–0 win over Chile in a 2018 World Cup qualifier on 10 October 2017. In May 2018, he was named in Tite's final 23-man squad for the World Cup in Russia. Ederson was included in Brazil's 23-man squad for the 2019 Copa América.
In June 2021, Ederson made his major tournament debut for Brazil, starting and keeping a clean sheet in a 4–0 group stage victory over Peru at the 2021 Copa América as Tite made five changes. In the quarter-finals against Chile, he was chosen at the expense of Alisson Becker, winning that match 1–0 as well as the semi-finals against Peru. On 10 July, he started in his nation's 1–0 defeat to rivals Argentina in the final.
Ederson was named in the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He played one game for the quarter-finalists, a 1–0 loss to Cameroon in the final group game once his team had already advanced to the last 16. He was initially called up by Dorival Júnior for the 2024 Copa América, but was replaced before the tournament by Rafael after being unable to recover from a fractured eye socket.
