Manchester United Step Up Ederson Pursuit as Atlético Fee Talks Stall

With no fee agreed, Atalanta’s €40–50m stance leaves room for rivals.

Overview

  • Manchester United have contacted Ederson’s representatives and spoken with Atalanta to gauge price and availability, adding the Brazilian to their summer shortlist.
  • Atlético Madrid have a verbal agreement on personal terms with the midfielder, but negotiations with Atalanta over a transfer fee remain unresolved.
  • Arsenal are monitoring the situation, with multiple outlets reporting Atalanta’s valuation at roughly €40–50m, or about £43m.
  • Ederson’s deal runs to 2027, which means this summer starts his final 12 months, a stage that often pushes selling clubs to accept a fee rather than risk losing a player for free next year.
  • United’s push is part of a midfield overhaul as Casemiro prepares to depart and Manuel Ugarte is expected to be sold, with plans to bring in two central midfielders.
