Atalanta, currently leading Serie A, are revelling in the talents of its standout players, particularly Brazilian midfielder Ederson. Under the guidance of coach Gian Piero Gasperini, Ederson has emerged as a key figure in Atalanta’s success, contributing significantly to their impressive performances both in domestic league play and the Champions League. His journey began with a keen eye from Walter Sabatini during his time at Salernitana, where he was initially signed for €6.5 million before being sold to Atalanta just six months later for €23 million—a significant profit for the club.
Recent reports from Sky Sport DE indicate that Manchester United is among the clubs showing interest in Ederson. The Red Devils have reportedly been monitoring the midfielder, who has become one of the most sought-after players in Europe. His current market value is estimated between €50 million and €60 million, reflecting his rising stock following a stellar season that saw him play a pivotal role in Atalanta’s Europa League triumph.
Despite the interest from Manchester United, there have been no formal discussions regarding a transfer. The club is currently assessing its options after appointing Ruben Amorim as head coach and parting ways with former sporting director Dan Ashworth. Internal evaluations are underway to determine if Ederson is the right fit to bolster their midfield.
Ederson is under contract with Atalanta until June 2027, and his future seems bright given his recent performances. Gasperini has expressed optimism about Ederson’s development, highlighting him as an example of the club’s commitment to nurturing talent. He humorously remarked that while they aim to develop champions like Ederson and teammate Ademola Lookman, they hope not to lose them too soon.
