Arsenal and Man United Enter Race as Atlético Prepares £33m Bid for Atalanta’s Ederson

The contract clock makes a summer deal more likely if bidders bridge the fee gap.

Overview

  • Arsenal and Manchester United moved into the chase on Wednesday, with reports saying Arsenal plan a formal proposal and United remain strongly interested, while Newcastle are also cited as suitors.
  • Atlético Madrid have an agreement on personal terms with Ederson and are preparing a £33m offer that includes bonuses.
  • Atalanta are reported to want at least £43m, and the gap in valuations has stalled a club-to-club agreement.
  • With his deal widely reported to expire next year, sources say Atalanta could sell this summer to avoid losing him for free.
  • No transfer has been agreed, with formal proposals expected next as clubs decide whether to meet the asking price.
