Manchester United is reportedly eyeing Ederson, the 24-year-old Atalanta midfielder, for a potential transfer, according to GOAL Brazil.
The club, while not yet initiating formal negotiations, is seriously considering an offer in the current transfer window.
Ederson, who has become a key player for the Italian club, is on United’s radar as they look to bolster their midfield lineup. The Brazilian’s performance has caught the attention of United’s management, as reported by GOAL Brazil.
The reports states that, internal discussions at Manchester United about submitting a bid for Ederson are underway, and the English club has already sought preliminary information about the midfielder. Developments are expected in the near future.
Atalanta, who acquired Ederson from Salernitana for €15 million in July 2022, is expected to demand a higher fee than their initial investment.
The Italian club holds a strong negotiating position, partly due to the player’s long-term contract, which doesn’t expire until June 30, 2026. Additionally, a substantial buyout clause is in place for foreign clubs interested in Ederson.
Since his move to Atalanta, Ederson has shown significant growth in his market value. This season, the 24-year-old has appeared in 23 games across Serie A and the UEFA Europa League, contributing five goals and an assist.
