In terms of the options transfer chiefs may look to bring in, they’ve recently added one name to the shortlist in the form of Ederson. United and Atalanta will have built a strong relationship through their exchanges for Rasmus Hojlund (2023) and Amad Diallo (2021), so hashing out a deal for the midfielder may be relatively straightforward.
United have scouted him on numerous occasions – as have rivals Liverpool, with their scouts once reportedly left ‘shocked’ after watching the 25-year-old in action.
The Serie A leaders value their star in the region of €50-60 million, and he has three years remaining on his contract in Bergamo. Their scintillating start to the campaign, in which Ederson has started 15 of their 16 league matches played, has presumably made them rule out the prospect of a mid-season sale.
