Manchester United are planning to sign Atalanta’s Ederson this June window.
Manchester United Eyes Midfield Overhaul with Ederson in the Mix
Ruben Amorim is set to overhaul Utd’s midfield this June. Reportedly, Atalanta’s Ederson is a key target. The Brazilian midfielder has been particularly impressive in Serie A. He is the type of player Amorim wants at Old Trafford. He is both technical and has a work ethic that can deliver both workrate and flair.
Meanwhile, Manuel Ugarte is struggling a bit to adapt. And Casemiro is showing signs of making an exit,. As a result Amorim wants a player to bring balance in their midfield. He’s got the legs to press, the brain to build play from deep, and the engine to go box-to-box.
The Red Devils already tried to sign him earlier in the past, but Atalanta turned down a £42 million offer at the time. This time, they’ll need to come back stronger, if they want to get the deal over the line.
🚨Atalanta will not want to lose Ederson for cheap, and Manchester United have been told that they will need to pay more than £42 million to get the deal done.

Atalanta Stand Firm as United Planning Bigger Bid
The Italian outfit will not allow one of their stars to leave for a low price. The Brazilian has a contract until 2027, and his Serie A side sees him as key player going forward. Utd are continuing talks with Atalanta for the midfielder. But, sources suggest that the Serie A club will only listen for an offer significantly higher than £42 million.
With Champions League football still within their reach via Europa League win, Utd could sweeten the pitch with the promise of UCL action. For Ederson, the chance to join a global club during the peak of his career is an exciting prospect. However, unless the Red Devils put serious cash on the table, Atalanta are in no hurry to sell their star midfielder this June.
