How Atalanta plan to replace Ederson after sale to Manchester United
How Atalanta plan to replace Ederson after sale to Manchester United Serie A side Atalanta appear close to selling midfielder Ederson to Manchester United early in the summer transfer window. As always, they don’t seem unprepared and have several plans in place for how to replace the Brazilian. There is every chance Ederson ends up being a good fit for the Red Devils, who are in desperate need for midfielders who can add technical value to the team.
While Atalanta will miss his undoubted quality, they are ready with ideas. Calciomercato report that La Dea will reinvest whatever they earn from Ederson’s sale. A main target is Udinese’s Arthur Atta, who has had an impressive campaign, also contributing to key goals in major games.
Como’s Lucas Da Cunha is also a liked profile, with the midfielder having grown in stature over the last couple of campaigns. Cagliari’s Gianluca Gaetano has proved himself in Serie A, having previously struggled to break in at Napoli. He is also on Atalanta’s radar, with Bayern Munich talent Guido Della Rovere also seen as a younger option.
Atta should replace Ederson While Udinese have always shown inclination towards selling their best players to foreign clubs, Atalanta can’t miss out on the chance to sign Atta. He is quite similar to Ederson in terms of his ability to maraud forward, come up with important contributions in the final third and often beat the press. Atalanta will have enough money from Ederson’s sale and this should put them in the driving seat for the Frenchman.
