Brazilian midfielder Ederson has reportedly undergone a medical ahead of a potential move to Manchester United, according to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport.
The Brazilian, who currently plays for Atalanta, is said to have completed preliminary medical examinations on Sunday as discussions over a transfer to Old Trafford accelerate.
The report suggests that Manchester United are pushing to finalise the deal early in the summer window as they look to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new season.
Ederson has been one of the standout performers in Serie A since joining Atalanta, earning widespread praise for his energy, ball progression, and defensive work rate. His performances were instrumental in Atalanta’s domestic and European campaigns, where his ability to break up play and transition quickly into attack drew attention from several Premier League clubs.
Manchester United’s interest in the Brazilian is understood to be part of a broader recruitment strategy aimed at adding dynamism and physicality to their midfield unit.
The club has faced scrutiny over inconsistent performances in the centre of the pitch, with questions raised about depth, tempo control, and defensive stability.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the medical tests were conducted discreetly, with both clubs working to avoid public attention while negotiations continue over the final structure of the transfer.
The report did not disclose the fee involved, though previous speculation in the Italian and British press has suggested Atalanta value the midfielder highly following his rise in Serie A.
While no official announcement has been made by either club, the completion of a medical is typically one of the final steps before a transfer is formally confirmed, pending agreement on contractual terms and registration details.
Should the move be finalised, Ederson would become another South American addition to Manchester United’s squad, joining a growing contingent of Brazilian players at the club.
Atalanta are yet to comment on the reports, and Manchester United have also maintained silence regarding ongoing transfer negotiations, in line with their policy on active deals.
Further developments are expected in the coming days as the transfer window progresses and both clubs work towards a resolution.
If completed, the deal would represent one of the more significant midfield acquisitions of the summer and a notable statement of intent from Manchester United as they aim to rebuild under their current sporting project.
