Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool have all made inquiries about signing Atalanta star Ederson. The Brazilian midfielder has been one of the best performers in Serie A this season and has attracted interest from Europe’s biggest clubs.
Ederson was a key figure in an Atalanta side that competed well this season despite several summer departures. The 24-year-old is a versatile midfielder who can play deeper. Atalanta are said to be willing to listen to offers for the former Brazil U20 international, but will only accept a fee. Buying clubs must prepare for difficult negotiations, as United found out last summer when they sought Rasmus Hojlund from the same club.
Arsenalare said to be leading the player race. The Gunners are looking to sign another midfielder to play alongside Declan Rice. However, according to Brazilian outlet Goal, United and Liverpool have also made inquiries about the player. This could lead to a major Premier League transfer saga in the summer. Neither club seems ready to make a big deal ahead of Thursday’s transfer window. The trio spent a lot of money during the summer window and there was little money to spend in the winter market.
Ederson has scored six goals and provided one assist this season, making him a valuable asset to whoever signs him. He arrived in Italy from Brazilian side Corinithians in 2021 and initially joined Salernita before joining Atalanta a year later. In the summer, Ederson will enter the final two years of his contract, making him more accessible than at any time this season.
Atalanta are looking to get a big reward for one of their best players and the 2024-25 season is one of their best opportunities to do so.
