Overview
- Manchester United have approached Ederson’s representatives, according to reporter Ben Jacobs, in a first step toward a possible summer bid.
- Atletico Madrid have an agreement on personal terms with the 26-year-old Brazilian, but multiple reports say they have not reached a fee with Atalanta.
- Atalanta are said to want about €40–50m (£35–45m), with talkSPORT citing a £42m valuation, and the midfielder’s deal running to 2027 could pull the price down if buyers wait.
- United’s interest follows plans to reshape their midfield after Casemiro’s confirmed summer exit and uncertainty over Manuel Ugarte, with director Jason Wilcox described as an admirer.
- Arsenal are tracking the player as well, and Ederson’s profile as a box-to-box midfielder who has been a regular for Atalanta since 2022 makes him a fit for Premier League demands.
