Manchester United have reportedly shown interest in Atalanta’s Brazilian midfielder Ederson. According to Italian football journalist Alfredo Pedullà, United officials made an informal inquiry about the player during a visit to Atalanta’s headquarters in Zingonia.
SportItalia report that the United representatives were at Atalanta’s offices to discuss matters related to Rasmus Hojlund’s transfer from last summer. During this meeting, they took the opportunity to gather information about Ederson’s situation at the Italian club.
Atalanta responded cordially to United’s inquiry, reflecting the good relationship between the two clubs. However, any potential transfer discussions for Ederson are likely to be postponed to future transfer windows. The initial contact may pave the way for further talks in the coming months.
Ederson, formerly of Salernitana, has impressed since joining Atalanta and has caught the attention of the English giants. While this inquiry doesn’t necessarily indicate an imminent move, it suggests that Manchester United is monitoring the Brazilian midfielder’s progress.
The positive relationship between Manchester United and Atalanta, strengthened by the recent Hojlund deal, could facilitate future negotiations if United decides to pursue Ederson more seriously.
For now, this remains a preliminary inquiry, but it’s a development worth noting as both clubs continue to maintain their cordial business relationship.
