Jorge Mendes advised Hakan Safi, a Fenerbahçe presidential candidate, that Ederson should not be transferred. Mendes stated that Fenerbahçe should persuade Ederson to remain and that allowing one of the world's best goalkeepers to depart would have a negative effect on future transfer operations. After receiving a red card in the Galatasaray derby and a three-match ban, Ederson left Istanbul. It is known that Ederson is upset because of insults aimed at his family and is disappointed about the lost championship. He traveled to his home country ahead of schedule to prepare for the World Cup and does not plan to leave without being paid his 22 million euro salary, which is valid until 2028.

Fanatik reports that Ederson is expected to leave Fenerbahce regardless of the presidential election's outcome. The report states his departure is anticipated whether Aziz Yildirim or Hakan Safi becomes president, and it is not expected that Ederson will remain with the club.

Fenerbahce is waiting for offers for Ederson due to dissatisfaction with his performance.

It is claimed that Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, 32, has instructed his manager to start looking for a new team after recent events, including a major mistake in the match against Çaykur Rizespor and reactions from within the team. It is reported that Ederson considers his time with Fenerbahçe to be over, a club he joined in September 2025. The Brazil international, who has 31 caps, has made 23 appearances in the Süper Lig this season. His contract is valid until June 2028 and his market value is €13.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
