Manchester United are close to finalizing a deal with Atalanta for midfielder Ederson for around £38m, with a potential breakdown of £35m guaranteed plus £3m in add-ons. Ederson was pursued by Atletico Madrid but United are now in pole position due to Atletico’s interest in Joao Gomes. United are also exploring other midfield options like Carlos Baleba and Mateus Fernandes. Ederson’s defensive statistics in Serie A are strong, but he may face challenges in the Premier League. Atalanta fans believe £40m would be good value for him.
