JUST IN: Manchester United Open Talks for Atalanta Midfield Star Ederson – €60M Deal in the Works
Manchester United have reportedly opened formal negotiations with Italian club Atalanta over the signing of Brazilian midfielder Ederson, with the Serie A side slapping a €60 million price tag on the player. Sources from both GOAL and FourFourTwo confirm that United are pushing ahead as they continue to reshape the squad under new manager Rúben Amorim.
Ederson, 24, enjoyed a standout campaign in 2024/25, playing a vital role in Atalanta’s Europa League triumph and establishing himself as one of the most consistent and physically dominant midfielders in Italy. Known for his ball-winning ability, tireless engine, and increasing offensive contributions, the Brazilian has attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe — but it’s Manchester United who are moving decisively.
United’s midfield has come under scrutiny in recent months, with aging legs in the squad and question marks over the futures of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Scott McTominay. Amorim, known for his intense pressing style and emphasis on transitional control, sees Ederson as an ideal fit to anchor his midfield — someone who can shield the defense, recover possession, and drive play forward.
Atalanta, while reluctant to lose a key player, are said to be open to selling at the right price, especially if they can secure a replacement quickly. Manchester United, on the other hand, are looking to get ahead of rival interest and complete the deal early before the competition heats up.
If completed, this would be another strong statement from the Red Devils in the transfer market, signaling their intent to return to elite competitiveness both in the Premier League and in Europe.
