Manchester United has entered the race to sign Atalanta's Brazilian midfielder Ederson with a strong bid, aiming to finalize the deal in the upcoming transfer window.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Manchester United has offered the player a contract worth 4.5 million euros net annually, which slightly exceeds the offer made by Atletico Madrid, intensifying the competition between the two parties to sign the player.

This move by the English club's management comes as part of a clear plan to strengthen the midfield, especially with the impending departure of Brazilian star Casemiro at the end of the current season, prompting the team to look for a replacement capable of providing the required technical contribution.

The data indicates that the battle to sign Ederson remains open, with more than one club interested in his services. However, the financial offer might give Manchester United a relative advantage in the negotiations, as they await the player's final decision regarding his future.
