The 25-year-old has made a name for himself at Wolves, attracting the interest of several top clubs, including Man Utd, who have been linked with the player, albeit not as a first option.
The transfer market expert reveals that the âagreement is doneâ between Atletico and Gomes on personal terms, and the Rojiblancos are close to reaching an accord with the relegated Premier League club worth circa âŹ40 million.
Therefore, Edersonâs move to Atletico Madrid is seemingly dead in the water, giving Man Utd the opportunity to pounce for his services.
Romano weighs in on the situation, confirming once more that the Red Devils, as well as another undisclosed EPL club, are keeping close tabs on the Atalanta player.
Nevertheless, the Italian journalist believes that Ederson isnât a top target for MUFC at the moment, but one of several names the club directors are considering.
While Atalantaâs asking price for Ederson might be inflated considering his expiring contract, the same can be said about the figures floated around when it comes to some of Unitedâs main targets for the middle of the park, especially Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, and Sandro Tonali.
Ederson would likely cost less than half of the aforementioned Premier League stars, with the possibility of driving the price down through negotiations with Atalanta. The Brazilian also has more experience in the Champions League, and had played an integral role in the Italian clubâs Europa League triumph in 2024.
At this stage, United shouldnât abandong their pursuit of Anderson and others, but signing two midfielders for ÂŁ100 million apiece remains an improbable scenario.
Therefore, Ederson could be the ideal profile to fill one of the midfield vacancies, as he would offer important guarantees in the middle of the park, and should be able to complement Kobbie Mainooâs skillset.
