Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Ederson, with the midfielder set to undergo a medical this week after Atalanta and United agreed terms over a transfer, according to icfootballnews sources.
The Brazilian midfielder is also understood to have agreed personal terms ahead of a move that would see him become one of the club’s key midfield additions for the upcoming campaign, as United continue to reshape their squad under their current recruitment strategy.
Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Ederson, with the player currently at Atalanta, who has been identified as a priority target due to his box-to-box profile, defensive work rate and ability to progress the ball under pressure.
The agreement between Manchester United and Atalanta is said to cover both the transfer fee and performance-related add-ons, with formalities now focused on scheduling the medical and completing final documentation. The player is expected to travel within days if no late complications arise.
Manchester United’s midfield recruitment drive has been a key focus throughout the window, with the club seeking greater balance, physicality and control in central areas following an inconsistent campaign.
Ederson’s profile is seen as a strong fit for the tactical demands being placed on the squad, with his performances in Serie A attracting long-standing interest from several European sides prior to United accelerating talks in recent weeks.
While the deal is not yet fully completed, optimism is growing at Old Trafford that the transfer will be finalised once the medical is successfully completed and paperwork is signed.
Ederson is expected to add energy, defensive stability and progressive passing from deep midfield roles, giving Manchester United a more dynamic option in central areas for the season ahead. Further updates are expected as negotiations move into their final stages.
Manchester United are said to have prioritised efficiency in their summer recruitment process, aiming to avoid prolonged negotiations where possible.
Atalanta, meanwhile, are understood to be satisfied with the structure of the agreement, having negotiated favourable terms for the midfielder. Supporters are now awaiting confirmation from both clubs as the deal reaches its concluding stages ahead of the new season.
Final paperwork is expected to be completed once medical clearance is fully confirmed. Further announcements should follow shortly thereafter officially.
