Media personality Rudi Galiati revealed that Saudi clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr have entered into direct negotiations to sign Brazilian star Ederson, a midfielder for Atalanta in Italy, during the current summer transfer window.

Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr have shown serious interest in acquiring the 24-year-old player, as each seeks to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season starting next August.

However, according to Galiati, Atalanta does not intend to let go of its player easily, having set an initial price of 60 million euros for his sale, which could complicate the deal.

Despite the high financial demands, close sources confirm the possibility of reaching an agreement through incentives and additional bonuses, which could bring the parties' views closer.

Ederson remains a valuable target on the radar of the Saudi football giants, at a time when competition between Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr to attract the best global talents is intensifying.
