According to a report by Spanish outlet AS, Ederson is a hot property in the market heading into the summer transfer window. Manchester United and Real Madrid are among the prospective suitors vying for the signature of the Atalanta midfielder. Meanwhile, the Serie A club will demand around €75 million to part ways with the Brazilian international.
Ederson has seen his stock skyrocket since joining Atalanta from Salernitana in July 2022. The South American midfielder has established himself as one of the best midfielders in Serie A in the last three years, with his exploits for La Dea helping him break into his national squad.
The 25-year-old has turned out nearly 150 times thus far for Atalanta while chipping in with 13 goals and four assists. Meanwhile, the Campo Grande native’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
Premier League bigwigs like Manchester City and Manchester United are keen on signing the Brazilian international in the summer transfer window. In addition, La Liga giants Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are vying for the Atalanta midfielder’s signature. Meanwhile, the Serie A giants want around €75 million to part ways with him.
Manchester United’s interest in Ederson is understandable. The Red Devils are keen on bolstering their midfield unit in the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen. So, the Atalanta midfielder has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United.
As for Real Madrid, Toni Kroos has left a gaping hole at the Santiago Bernabeu since calling time on his glittering career. In addition, Luka Modric is in the twilight of his career. So, the South American midfielder is an option worth considering for Real Madrid.
Atalanta’s high asking price of €75 million makes sense, considering European bigwigs like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, and Manchester United are keen on signing him. However, it will be interesting to see if the four clubs are ready to break the bank to sign the 25-year-old Brazilian international.
