Man Utd Target Atalanta Midfielder Ederson

Manchester United are in a race to sign Atalanta’s 26‑year‑old midfielder Ederson, whose €45‑50m asking price could see him replace Casemiro.

Manchester United have intensified talks with Atalanta to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson, who has reportedly reached a verbal deal with Atletico Madrid earlier this year. The 6‑ft‑tall workhorse is known for his physicality and defensive resilience, qualities United say would bolster their midfield as they look for a successor to Casemiro. Atalanta’s asking price of €45‑50m has attracted interest from several clubs, but United’s financial backing and willingness to meet the demand put them in a strong position to secure the deal. sportnewz.click
