He has been identified by Wilcox as a suitable replacement for compatriot Casemiro, who is now preparing for his final five games as a United player.

INEOS might feel more obliged to act on their long-standing interest in Ederson due to the fact that he has agreed personal terms with Atletico Madrid.

Indeed, the 26-year-old has given his full approval on a move to the Wanda Metropolitano, but the prospective transfer has recently hit a standstill, with Atleti unwilling to meet Atalanta’s price demands.

As a result, it could well pave the way for another suitor to swoop in and hash out a full deal while the Spaniards are mulling it over.
