Ederson: Atletico Madrid trying to beat Man United to Serie A standout Atalanta midfield general Ederson is expected to be on the move this summer. There have been hints to suggest why the Samba star may finally be prised away from the New Balance Arena. One of them that should have turned heads is the combative South American’s asking price.
A tempting opportunity Manchester United have long admired Ederson , yet the €60–70 million (£52–61m) valuation placed by the Bergamo outfit proved a stumbling block. Now, however, reports relayed by The Peoples Person suggest Atalanta are willing to negotiate at around €30 million (£26m), a massive discount. For a long-term target, United should have been all over this deal, striking quickly for the 26‑year‑old who could prove a brilliant replacement for Casemiro .
Atletico pressing hard Instead, it is Atletico Madrid making the strongest push. Fabrizio Romano reports: “Atletico Madrid have verbally agreed personal terms with Ederson, as the Atalanta midfielder is a top target. No agreement yet between clubs as talks continue around a €35–40m fee, but negotiations are ongoing.
Ederson is under contract until June 2027. ” This revelation ought to set alarm bells ringing at Old Trafford. For Ineos to allow Ederson to slip to the Wanda Metropolitano would be nothing short of criminal.
