The Italian journalist provided the latest on the midfielderās situation in a video posted on his official YouTube channel.
The transfer market expert tells the viewers to ākeep an eye on the Premier Leagueā, revealing that Man Utd and an unnamed EPL club remain ākeenā on the Atalanta star.
Romano adds that United donāt consider Ederson a top target, but he represents a viable solution should they fail to acquire other profiles.
At this stage, Man Utdās midfield plans remain shrouded in mystery. With Casemiro leaving and Manuel Ugarte placed on the transfer list, the club needs at least two new additions, while many observers insist three are required, as Kobbie Mainoo is the only out-and-out central midfielder whoās guaranteed to stay for next season.
Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Sandro Tonali, and Aurelien Tchouameni are some of the names that have been making the rounds for months, but INEOS are unlikely to afford signing more than one, given the hefty asking prices.
Therefore, Ederson can represent a cost-effective alternative. While Atalantaās valuation might be inflated considering his expiring contract, he would still cost half or less compared with those mentioned above.

The Brazilian is a well-rounded midfielder who combines physical strength and stamina with high tactical awareness and the ability to drive the ball forward.
These attributes render him a natural fit for the box-to-box role, but he can also act as a holding midfielder.
