Overview
- Negotiations for Atalanta midfielder Ederson have reached a standstill, with reports saying talks are frozen both between the clubs and with the player.
- Ederson favors a move to Diego Simeone’s side and has rejected approaches from Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Juventus and Inter, according to AS.
- Atalanta are holding out for roughly €40–45m and are resisting a discount even though the player’s deal runs to June 2027.
- Atlético verbally agreed personal terms earlier this year, but that understanding has faltered and the player wants a package he considers acceptable.
- The deadlock could let Arsenal or Manchester United re-enter the race if they meet Atalanta’s price, though no alternative agreement is in place.
