Manchester United are making significant progress in negotiations to acquire Atalanta’s Brazilian midfielder, Ederson, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The two clubs are closing in on an agreement, though the final decision rests with United’s hierarchy. Ederson is reportedly eager to leave the Serie A side and has been the subject of a proposed five-year contract worth between €45 million and €50 million.
Atalanta’s manager, Raffaele Palladino, confirmed the ongoing discussions by omitting Ederson from the squad for Friday’s Serie A match against Fiorentina. He stated that there are concrete negotiations with a top club, indicating the player’s likely departure. Manchester United are seemingly in pole position to secure the 26-year-old’s signature.
