Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing Ederson from Atalanta in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Liverpool and Manchester United have submitted an enquiry for Ederson. However, the two Premier League bigwigs will face competition from Manchester City for the Atalanta midfielder.
The Brazilian international is valued at €60 million, and he has proven himself to be a top-class player in Serie A. The 25-year-old has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in England as well, and he could be a key player for all three English clubs.
Liverpool need more quality and depth in the midfield unit. Players like Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch have been overplayed this season, and Arne Slot needs more options to compete in multiple tournaments and succeed.
Signing the Brazilian midfielder would be excellent business for Liverpool, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. The Reds are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have shown that they can challenge for major trophies regularly. The South American could be attracted to the idea of playing for them next season.
Manchester United and Manchester City keen on Ederson
Manchester United are looking to rebuild their midfield as well and have their sights set on Ederson. The Red Devils might need to replace players like Casemiro at the end of the season, and the Atalanta midfielder could be an excellent addition.
He will add control, composure and defensive cover to the side alongside the lights of Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo. It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to pay €60 million for the player. Meanwhile, Manchester City are lacking in quality and depth in the middle of the park as well.
The Premier League champions have suffered in the midfield this season, and they need to bring in a quality addition. They signed Nico Gonzalez during the winter transfer window but need more depth in the squad.
Signing another central midfielder would be a wise decision, and the Brazilian international seems like the ideal fit for them. All three clubs could be attractive destinations for the €60 million-rated Brazilian international, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
