According to "CaughtOffside", Manchester United and Manchester City are preparing to enter a strong competition for the signing of Atalanta midfielder, Brazilian international Ederson, during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Ederson, who is 25 years old, has caught attention with his outstanding performance this season in Serie A, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist, making him one of the most complete midfielders in the league and attracting interest from top clubs in Europe.

According to the report, Manchester United sees Ederson as a key element in the upcoming project of coach Ruben Amorim to rebuild the team, given the Red Devils' need to strengthen their midfield with a player who combines defensive solidity and attacking support.

On the other hand, Pep Guardiola is looking to refresh Manchester City's squad and considers Ederson an ideal option to support the midfield, which is facing aging issues among some of its players, especially with the decline in performance of certain individuals this season.

Although Manchester City has the advantage in terms of stability and European participation, the player's future will be determined based on the sporting project and the role he will be given in each team.
