Liverpool have begun preliminary talks over a summer move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, Italian outlet TuttoAtalanta has claimed.
The Premier League winners are believed to have earmarked the Brazil international as a potential reinforcement in midfield and have reportedly stepped up their interest with initial discussions.
Ederson has no shortage of suitors across Europe following another strong season in Serie A, with the likes of Manchester United, Newcastle and Barcelona all holding the 25-year-old in high regard.
The Brazilian midfielder, whose contract expires in June 2027, is unlikely to sign a new deal at the Bergamo-based club amid growing interest from across the continent.

Atalanta are facing a tough summer decision regarding Ederson’s future, as they risk losing the star midfielder for a lower fee next year if he stays for another season.
However, with several European powerhouses among his suitors, Ederson could be tempted to bring his Serie A chapter to a close after spending three-and-a-half seasons in Italy.
The Brazilian midfielder, praised as ‘one of the best players in Serie A’, played a key role in Atalanta's domestic campaign this season, making 32 starts and registering six goal contributions.
His performances helped the Bergamo club finish third in the league table, eight points behind champions Napoli.
Liverpool are anticipating a busy start to the summer market, as they are set to announce Jeremie Frimpong’s arrival and remain in talks for both Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez.
The Reds could end up smashing their transfer record to lure Wirtz to Anfield this offseason, as their initial offer for the Germany international exceeds €100m (£84m).
