Official: Ederson Extends Contract with Atalanta

Atalanta has officially announced the extension of Brazilian midfielder Ederson's contract until the summer of 2031, allowing him to continue his journey with the team after four successful seasons in the Italian club's colors.

Atalanta has officially announced that the new agreement strengthens the strong relationship between the club and the 27-year-old player, who has become one of the key technical leaders within the team since joining in the summer of 2022. He has also turned into one of the most popular players among the club's fans thanks to his great technical abilities and fighting spirit on the pitch.

During his first spell with Atalanta, Ederson played 180 matches across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing 6 assists, solidifying his status as one of the key midfielders in the team.

The player is one of the key contributors to Atalanta's Europa League title win on May 22, 2024. His consistent performance and ongoing brilliance have earned him a chance to join the Brazil national team, where he recently participated in the 2026 World Cup.

The club concluded its statement with wishes from the Berkas family, Bagliocco, the sports management, and all club members for Ederson to achieve more individual and collective successes in the coming years while wearing the Atalanta jersey.

This announcement closes the door on speculations that linked the player to a transfer to Manchester United during the current summer transfer window, after he was very close to joining the English club before the deal fell through at the last moment.

According to reports, Manchester United has decided not to proceed with the signing of Ederson due to issues that arose during the medical examinations, which led to the collapse of negotiations about a week ago.
