Report Ederson wants Atletico Madrid, but Manchester United still have hope | OneFootball

Sportitalia transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà warns Manchester United can still get Ederson from Atalanta, as Atletico Madrid are too far off the €40m asking price.

The midfielder is widely expected to leave Bergamo at the end of the season, especially as his current contract only runs to June 2027, so time is running out to organise an extension.

It is also no secret that there are two clubs particularly eager to secure his services in the summer, namely Atletico Madrid and Manchester United.

Ederson caught between two clubs

Multiple sources assured weeks ago that Atletico Madrid agreed personal terms with the Brazilian and he would be their first choice.

However, Pedullà points out that the Spaniards are still a very long way off agreeing a fee with Atalanta, because the proposal is just €30m plus bonuses.

If Manchester United can match the personal terms proposed by Atleti and also increase the offer for Atalanta to €40m, then the matter is far from a foregone conclusion.
