The Brazilian midfielder Ederson, star of Atalanta, has been included in Manchester United's shortlist to strengthen the midfield during the summer transfer window.

Atletico Madrid had already reached a preliminary agreement with the player on personal terms, but negotiations with Atalanta have not yet been finalized, leaving the door open for other parties to enter the deal.

In this context, Manchester United has initiated contact with the player in an attempt to persuade him about the sports project, especially as the English club seeks to rebuild its midfield.

Atalanta's management values the player at approximately 50 million euros, a figure that could serve as a starting point for negotiations among interested parties.

This move comes as part of United's plan to sign midfielders this summer, especially with the potential departure of Casemiro, in addition to the possibility of selling Manuel Ugarte, which increases the need to strengthen this position with new players.
