Éderson Set to Join Manchester United Pending Formal Signature

The transfer would kick off Michael Carrick's midfield rebuild with reported fees still varying between outlets.

Overview

  • Éderson said Saturday that his move to Manchester United is "practically almost all sorted" and he made a substitute appearance for Brazil against Haiti at the World Cup.
  • Clubs have agreed terms in principle but the transfer will be formally completed only after Éderson’s World Cup involvement when he can sign the contract.
  • Media reports differ on the fee with one outlet citing an initial £35 million plus add-ons and another reporting roughly €45 million to Atalanta.
  • The 26-year-old midfielder rose at Atalanta as a dynamic central player who helped the club reach the 2024/25 Europa League final and has earned only a few senior caps for Brazil.
  • The move is reported to be Manchester United’s first signing under permanent manager Michael Carrick and could trigger further midfield recruitment while giving Atalanta a sizeable transfer profit.
