Ederson: Atalanta boss drops huge transfer hint on Man United target Atalanta boss Raffaele Palladino has given a huge hint regarding Manchester United midfield target Ederson. Ederson interest As the summer transfer window approaches, United are expected to make midfield reinforcements their priority, with up to three new signings likely to come in. United are exploring moves for several targets, with Atalanta’s Ederson one of them.

In recent days, links to the Brazil international have intensified, with United appearing to step up their plans. Ederson’s contract expires in 2027 and Atalanta are eager not to lose him on a free. This summer represents the best possible chance of attaining as much money as possible from parting ways with him.

There have been suggestions that there is an agreement in place between United and Ederson’s camp over a five-year deal. A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that United and Atalanta are also close to striking a deal, although Fabrizio Romano refuted such claims. Ederson was an unused substitute during Atalanta’s 1-1 draw with Fiorentina on Friday evening, further fuelling speculation that a switch to Old Trafford is on the cards.

Palladino addressed Ederson’s situation after the full-time whistle and explained why he did not play against La Viola. The 42-year-old coach confirmed that the player was left out because of the uncertainty surrounding his future. When explaining that talks are ongoing, he stopped just short of explicitly naming United.
