Champions League ambitions drive Man United towards €45m Brazilian star | OneFootball

Ederson Dos Santos has been linked with a move away from the Italian club Atalanta at the end of the season.

According to a report from Calciomercato, the player will cost around €45 million in the summer, and he is a target for clubs like Atletico Madrid and Manchester United.

It is no secret that Manchester United need more quality in the middle of the park. The Brazilian could be an ideal acquisition for them. He is excellent at controlling the tempo of the game from the deep, and he will add creativity to the team as well. In addition, he’s a hard-working player who will help out defensively.

Ederson has been a complete central midfielder for Atalanta in recent years, and he has shown his quality in Italy and in the European competitions. He has the physicality and technical attributes for the Premier League as well.

Ederson could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Atletico Madrid and Manchester United. The reported €45 million asking price is reasonable for a player of his quality in today’s market. He could justify the investment if he joined Manchester United.

It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are prepared to get the deal done. They have the financial muscle to afford him.

They need to add more quality in the middle of the park if they want to do well next season. They are likely to return to the UEFA Champions League in the summer, and they need more quality and depth in the team in order to do well across multiple competitions. Apart from a quality central midfielder, they need to invest in a defensive midfielder as well.
