Overview
- Multiple reports on Wednesday said Manchester United overtook Atlético Madrid after offering Ederson about €4.5 million net per year.
- Atalanta have told interested clubs they want around €45–50 million for the 26-year-old and no team has agreed a fee.
- Atlético had earlier reached a personal understanding near €4 million a year, but their progress stalled without a club-to-club deal.
- United’s push fits a wider midfield rebuild under INEOS, with Casemiro expected to leave and Manuel Ugarte potentially available for sale.
- Ederson’s contract runs to 2027, which increases pressure on Atalanta to sell this summer to secure maximum value.
