Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Atalanta midfielder Ederson, but they’ll face stiff competition from Manchester City.
According to Tutto Mercato Web, the Red Devils would need to pay around £52m to secure the Brazilian’s services.
Ederson’s Profile
Ederson has been a key player for Atalanta, featuring in 30 of their 32 Serie A matches this season.
The 25-year-old excels in various midfield roles, using his athleticism and combative skills to cover ground and win the ball back.

His ability to carry the ball forward at pace has helped Atalanta advance up the pitch.
Would Ederson Fit at United?
Pairing Ederson with Manuel Ugarte in a double pivot could make Manchester United more formidable without the ball.
However, both players struggle to operate as primary ball progressors, which might lead to issues building from the back.
Ederson could potentially compete with Ugarte for a starting spot, but the £52m price tag might be hard to justify given the squad’s broader needs.
Amorim’s Summer Challenge
With Manchester United struggling in the Premier League, Ruben Amorim faces a tough summer transfer window.
Signing Ederson could be a key move, but the club needs to balance its priorities and make smart investments to improve their chances of success.
