Juventus plan to submit offer for Atalanta midfielder Ederson | OneFootball

Juventus are planning to step up their efforts to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson this summer (h/t journalist Gianluca Di Marzio).

The Bianconeri are searching for a top-class midfielder in the transfer window and have been linked with Sandro Tonali.

However, Tonali is keen to continue at Newcastle United, while his €70 million valuation reduces Juve’s chances of signing him.

With Davide Frattesi leaning towards staying at Inter Milan, the club has started looking for alternatives.

Ederson has been on Juve’s radar for a while, and he looks to be on his way out of Atalanta this summer.

Al-Hilal have approached the Brazilian with a lucrative offer, but he rejected the move.

Juve are considering submitting a concrete offer to test Atalanta’s resolve and stave off other suitors for Ederson. La Dea want €50 million to part ways with Ederson.

The 25-year-old is viewed as an ideal replacement for his compatriot Douglas Luiz, who has endured a torrid spell in Turin since his €50m move from Aston Villa.

Manager Igor Tudor wants to find an upgrade on the former Villa star, who has been linked with a return to the Premier League.

Ederson has grown in stature as one of the finest midfielders in Serie A, playing a pivotal role in Atalanta becoming regular top-four contenders.

He has mainly featured as one of the double pivots for Atalanta, bringing solidity to the midfield and pulling strings with his passing repertoire.

It would make him a perfect addition for Tudor, who has mostly used the 3-4-2-1 formation in his short spell at the Allianz Stadium.

Ederson could link up with Manuel Locatelli for a formidable partnership in the heart of Juve’s midfield.
