Atlético de Madrid step up talks with Atalanta for ex-Corinthians ace | OneFootball

Standing out at Atalanta, defensive midfielder Ederson is on Atlético de Madrid's radar for next season. Having monitored the player for a few years, the Spanish club sees the signing as essential, especially after Koke's injury.

Because of this situation, the club has intensified negotiations with the Italians for the former Corinthians player. Atleti's sporting director met with Atalanta's president in an attempt to complete the transfer before the end of the European season.

According to the newspaper Marca, Atlético de Madrid offered 40 million euros (around R$ 240 million), but the Italian club wants 50 million (around R$ 300 million). Ederson is also on the radar of Premier League clubs, such as Arsenal, which worries the Colchoneros' board.
