Manchester United joins Atletico Madrid in pursuit of Brazilian star

Manchester United is reportedly preparing to make a move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, competing directly with Atletico Madrid for the player’s signature. This revelation comes from journalist Nicolò Schira on his social media account X.

Despite Atletico’s ongoing discussions with Ederson, Manchester United intends to engage Atalanta in negotiations. The Italian club has set an asking price of €35 million for the 26-year-old midfielder, a figure that exceeds Atletico Madrid’s budget for the player.

This season, Ederson has appeared in 39 matches for Atalanta, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist. His current contract extends until the summer of 2027, with his market value estimated at €40 million by Transfermarkt.
