Since the last summer transfer window, Manchester United have been mentioned as credible candidates to land Ederson from Atalanta.
Even though Manchester City’s name has also cropped up as an interested party, the Red Devils have been linked the most seriously in recent weeks.
Calciomercato have reported today that Atalanta are making attempts to renew the Brazilian’s contract in Bergamo, but the midfielder is tempted by the clubs that are monitoring his situation. That is causing delays in the renewal process.
Ederson is fascinated by the idea of playing in the Premier League. Juventus are said to be ‘crazy’ about signing him and spoke to his entourage in January to agree a move, but Manchester United currently have the ‘best chance’ of signing him in the summer.
It’s stated a ‘€60m offer is coming’, with the Red Devils said to have informed Atalanta about their desire to pay that amount already. The feeling is that this fee could be enough for La Dea to sell the 25-year-old.
Manchester City’s interest finds no mention in the report, which indicates that Manchester United could be going forward with their move.
